About Me

About me:

I am usually a quiet person that likes to keep looking to nowhere thinking about life, the world and about what we are and have been doing here. I've been thinking about what there might be beyond what our eyes can not see. Thinking about why we usually want to explain things are not supposed to be explained and why we are still creating - by naming - things that end up freezing us within the limits of what we think we are. We are not the bodies we have, cause we do not own it, we are the bodies we want to be, limitless, finite and endless.

I am moved by connections and passions. I am more into drinking a cup of coffee with some few nice people and listen to good music rather than spending all my night long partying. But sometimes I like to party. Daylight is my source of energy. I love to be in the kitchen either cooking or chilling with friends. Kitchen is my favorite place in a home and cooking is my passion. Recently I've decided to start doing massage, so this would be one my great contributions to you, beyond cooking something you've never eaten.

I prioritize travelling and having an experience with couchsurfing because I feel it is a good way of knowing a place, through my host's eyes. I like to share experiences, feelings, food, music and couchsurfing has been for me a sort of strong and powerful network of solidarity, sharing and living differently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had excellent experiences with couchcurfing and have made some good friends and I really think it has been more and more important to strengthen networks in which we can set relations that escapes market and capital systems. We can do it differently if we want to.

Interests

Now I am finishing my PhD studies in Political Science/International Relations and writing my dissertation on gender and state violence. Recently I've been thinking about the possibility of writing tales/short stories and also film scripts, but it is only something that has coming to my mind recently, because I love writing, So, let's see where this is gonna take me.
