About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding the inner deep sense of my life, being happy as much I can, having fun, being useful and making difference to some human beings' life.

ABOUT ME

I'm not so diferent from most of the people in this site. I have the same sense of urgence to live, it means:
True friends are a treasure. I guve much value to friendship.
I feel tenderness specialy for animals, children and elderly people.I used to be very ideological
When I was younger I wanted to change my country, my city, my neigborhood, or at least my students... well, too hard... I changed my mind and now I only try to change myself first.

I love animals and children.

PHILOSOPHY

... lots of things...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host you and sametimes go out to dance or to a bar. If you come on weekend, probably I'll be hiking the swiss mountains (that you are invited to do so)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted in Barcelona by Sylvia Parra and in Geneve by Naikos.

It was pleased.

Interests

I love cultural history; history of religions; mythology, philosophy (althought I don't know much about is); art, specially theatre, cinema and literature. Lately I've been very interested in yoga, meditation techniques and any thing that makes me dive into my consciousness.
