About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find my mission

ABOUT ME

I would describe my self as a very friendly person. I love to listen to other people since I discovered how much you lose by judging before listening to their stories. My passion is traveling. I am having my taste of freedom and I dont wanna ever let it go again. I believe we are all meant to be happy, but our mind is to busy to let us be happy.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we are all magnificent creatures but we forget it sometimes and get extremely involved in our life situation. We are crazy about getting more and more and it's never enough. Due to this way of thinking we forgot who we really are and how much we can achieve if we work together. We must become part of this world and stop being a disease for it, but that won´t happen until we decide to awaken our consciousness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been into CS since I moved to PP and I have met great people through it. I have never crashed at someones place. The only time I tried, my host left me waiting on the street at night...haha. Anyways, I like meeting and hosting people when possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best friend has received lots of amazing people and that is why I decided to join CS. It is an amazing project. I love meeting new people from different countries and I wish I would have known CS before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every day is amazing! I have done many things but I don´t know if I could call them amazing. What I can certainly say is that I have met amazing people in my life who have taught me great things and my life would be very different without them. So now I feel that I have a debt to pay and I want to positively influence or help other people in order to pay my debt.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a person who must constantly learn new things. No matter what my present situation looks like, I have the need to keep on learning and also love to teach. I have taught Martial Arts and a bit of guitar. Now I teach Economics at a a University in PP, but my real passion is travelling, music, philosophy and art.
