About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to help. to not disturb, especially myself and especially in being happy.

ABOUT ME

i am good at being very brief.

PHILOSOPHY

keep the balance. break the rythym once in a while to clear your head. take life easy and it won't get tough for you. if people tell you that something is too hard or impossible to do, remember that they refer to either common truths or their own experience. what does it have to do with you?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i used to host, surf and exchange experiences through CS for years as the only active website, until around 2011 when an irreversible change happened and a big dream has been reduced to game of profit, popularity and commerce...http://www.bewelcome.org/ is a more decent site i use to do the same thing, feel free to send me messages there as well. Otherwise at least acknowledge that CS is not just about party and free acommodation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Many, changing with seasons, few things I am constantly coming back to are J. Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", stuff related to semiotics and books of Italo Calvino

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i don´t remember the last time my life wasn´t amazing as such

Teach, Learn, Share

talks about semiotics (which is a study of signs). A word that may give the creeps to linguistics students all over the world. Check out the book by Daniel Chandler "Semiotics for beginners", available online. As he wisely states "reality has authors" and we should have an idea of what semiotics is, to know whose realities are privileged & why. Just to understand better what's going on around.
