About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to love my neighbour as myself

ABOUT ME

i love to travel and when i say travel i mostly mean that i love to meet people.
people.
there is no way of avoiding them ... i mean "being alive" means "being with people"
ah, sometimes i love to be alone.
there is no such thing as being alone because one is always filled with memories of people and all the influences of the people who have provoked you or somehow made an impression on you. everyone makes an impression on you because there is nothing more real or substantial or crazily impressive as being alive.

i say i love to travel... yes, it is all about love.

personal description: all about me? no, no, it is all about You.

PHILOSOPHY

Dios es grande

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i enjoyed giving a home to a few travellers while living in Asuncion, Sevilla and Aberdeen. i have not had a fixed abode for some time now. i miss being able to host but being welcomed by other couchsurfers is a grand experience.

Interests

i love the natural world in a very deep way.
i love adventures
i love the sea, trees, stargazing.
i love words, reading other people's words.
i love exploration.
curiosity, like a cat sniffing his surroundings.

Music, Movies, and Books

some favourite authors of mine: julio cortazar, garcia marquez, juan rulfo, mevlana/rumi, dostoevsky, tolstoy, virginia woolfe, mark twain, jack kerouac, henry miller.

i love jazz and soul and cool soft sounds. guitar sounds. also the beat of drums. the tinkling of bells. birdsong

i don't like reggae, i love it
van morrison wants to rock my gypsy soul
jeff tweedy is trying to break your heart
with this chance stuart murdoch misses, he feels remiss

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i have looked upwards into the night sky
and seen the stars.

Teach, Learn, Share

balancing acts. tree-climbing interets. reaching high hights. languages. all sorts of word patterns.

a learning experience depends on both people taking part in the exchange and is dificult to define in any way beforehand.
