CURRENT MISSION

To become each time a better person. Somehow contribute to this world.

ABOUT ME

I love life and try to enjoy everything and every moment. Positive thinking is my personal rule. I very much enjoy meeting, talking and sharing with people. I am sociable, communicative, cheerful. I like to have fun. I try to be easygoing, responsible, hardworking, serious with the things I do. I am friendly, reliable, honest, accurate. I think life is a school to become better people, I try to find a lesson in every experience that I have.

PHILOSOPHY

Thoughts that express my philosophy of life: (are difficult to translate)
"La felicidad sobreviene cuando lo que piensas, dices y haces están en armonía" (Mahatma Ghandi)
"La felicidad no está en hacer todo lo que se quiere, sino en querer todo lo que se hace" (Leon Tolstoy)
"El hombre de bien exige todo de si mismo; el mediocre exige todo de los otros" (Confucio)
"La naturaleza de los hombres es la misma, son sus hábitos los que les mantienen separados" (Confucio)
"Es mejor encender una vela que maldecir la obscuridad" (Confucio)
"Un hombre solo tiene el derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse" (unknown)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy meeting, talking and sharing with people, learning from other cultures and also sharing my own culture and experiences. I like to contribute to promoting intercultural communication and exchange

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I learned about CS in January 2010. I had the chance to host only 1 person before I started my travels which will last until the end of this year. So, most of my experience so far has been as guest and is relatively recent. But definitely when I come back to my country I will be more than willing to host surfers and help to make their stay enjoyable.

Interests

I love meeting people and sharing with people from different cultures, visit new places, have new experiences. Definitely traveling is one of my passions in life or addiction?? =). Since I was a child I've always dreamed with traveling around the world, I try to take advantage of every opportunity that I have to do it. I like to have fun, life is too short and we have to enjoy it. I love to dance and I’m tireless dancing, specially latin music. I love the music, the nature, the sunsets, the sea, a glass of wine, a good talk, a good food, share with friends. I like to walk and I can walk for hours. I like “filosofía oriental” and bioenergy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like almost all kind of music, it depends of the moment. Music is always present in my life. I love latin music. One of my favorites: Juan Luis Guerra.
Movies: I like movies that make me laugh, cry or those that left a lesson. "Sawshank Redemption", "The Choristes", "The dead poets society", "Amelie", "Cinema Paradiso", "The Lion King", movies of Disney usually are nice and innocent. "Everything you ever wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask" (Woody Alen)
I do not like horror movies and the ones that are very violent.
Books: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “Love in the time of cholera”; Isabel Allende “The house of the spirits”; Paolo Cohelo “The Alchemist” & “As the river that flows”; Louise Hay “The power is within you”. Also writers such as Brian Weiss, Deepak Chopra, Osho. Personal development books.
