About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to escape the redundancy of having important missions

ABOUT ME

I am native to Northern Mexico and I've been living in the U.S for six years now. I am an artist and my work allows me to see and understand the world through a different lens; working with my hands gives me a satisfaction and peace of mind that I cannot find anywhere else. I find the world around us, no matter how imperfect, to be fascinating and rich, an infinite source of possibilities.

PHILOSOPHY

Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to the community but looking forward to getting more involved.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing I've heard lots of good things about it so I'll give it a try

Interests

Anything that allows me to explore the depth of the world and my own self. I am an artist - I work with printmaking, drawing and photography, which has proven to be an amazing tool for Introspection. Soon I will begin graduate architecture school, which will mark the beginning of a whole new set of life-long explorations.
