CURRENT MISSION

Spreading out funny mistranslated pieces of good times.

ABOUT ME

I learn and unlearn all the time as a hobby. I (most of the time) appreciate human beings, including their flaws, the most human part of being human.
Word lover, some people might say I'm a bit weird. My friends say special instead. Maybe they mean it in a good way. Naaah.

I love my bullshit detector. I bought it in this rundown stall somewhere in Paposia. It lets me know when someone is fakeish, which is not my cup of tea. More importantly, it lets me know when I am being dumb, fake or any combination of the two. It includes an ass-kicking device, mostly used to kick my own ass.

I recently put two and two together, and after years of riding my bike and being all unconscious about it, I figured it actually makes a difference, and I'm now officially all geeky and serious about it. Except I never built my own bike, which is something I would really like to do.

I am moved by people helping each other.
Love old ladies who tell stories.

PHILOSOPHY

A por ellos!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm mostly the one who puts others through. Centralita con sonrisa!
I show the community the wonders of obnoxiously insistent hospitality.
I am more likely to be able to help with last minute-emergency CS requests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This one time in some random town in Italy, called The Ugliest Town in the World ever after, a guy let us stay in his place when he learned that our plan was to spend the night in an Irish pub singing drunken songs. He had the most amazing collection of gadgets and vinyls (one of the objects that I drool over the most). We barely slept, but I still think that guy was an angel. Drunken angel, but great guy nonetheless.

On CS... Met Eli, best start ever!
So far, hosted a little bit. Co-hosted, too, that's the way it goes if you have Eli for a roommate.

Being Brynn's 1st couch surfer was incredible.

Interests

Beer induced anthropology, and anything that helps it: street art, cinema, music, dreams...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

a storm coming on to our tent, set up in a valley in Scotland, among mountains, my good friend Fernando and the last minute of daylight all together in a hug.

And i can hold a beer on my belly!

Teach, Learn, Share

Drink a lot of water before going to bed if you've been drinking.

There's a squirrel taking a nap on the branch in front of my window.
