About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn stories, write stories, take part in them

ABOUT ME

Still learning about me, but actually the research is going pretty well. =) I love being creative, but I only conceive this being possible collectively, as you interact with other people.

PHILOSOPHY

I consider myself a foucaultian. Something like, be yourself as you are everybody else. Yeah, I'm pretty nuts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I love cinema, arts, internet, TV series (Family Guy, Battlestar Galactica, Simpsons, Six Feet Under, etc), going out, meeting new people, new culture, learning, actually.
