About Me

CURRENT MISSION

cross paradigms as if cross continents

ABOUT ME

I have transcended the modern values to locate myself in an unexplored psychological geography. I like to think about myself like a pioneer in alternative existential strategies. Although sometimes I get lost.

Currently I'm not traveling, I'm running away. From responsibilities, from routine and from the prospect of a stereotyped and empty life. The "Peter Pan syndrome" mixed whit "Holiday Blues" does not allow me to stop.

I don't know absolutely what is the travel destination, but I can enjoy the trip without problems. Because, after all, are not the people to make trips, but are trips to make people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use CS as much as I can. I talk with my friends about it. I pray every day for CS and sometimes i devolve money for it.
