About Me

I'm kind of a clown :o) / I don't drink, do smoke and dance a lot.

I love love, chocolate, dogs, languages, music, physics, and real things about life.

Open minded, straight forward, honest and sincere person. At times I may seem distant or absent but I value sincerity and honesty over all other things. I try not to judge, pretend or suppose things about other people, being that sometimes a disadvantage because I may be felt "rude," but I like to be grateful with life and that means with people around me.

I'm a wannabe writer, philosopher, musician and I'm always looking to improve and grow as a living being. I love dogs most of all but in general love animals. I'm a life tourist as I'm trying to be aware of life as it is and not as it is shown or sold.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be in touch with the soul of the society, to get in touch with that which makes people be what they are and to try fitting in differents cultures since I feel I can't get enough of the one I was born with.

Since I'm from Venezuela I'm looking for a little more sincere, healthier, heartier and kinder way of being human, and to meet different people without judging them and accepting them by who they are rather that who they want to be.

I want to meet the real person hidden behind the human façade :o

Interests

Human and non human ideas in general. I don't seem to take a grasp of reality when seeing people, things or event but I do make the best effort I can and am always looking for new ways to improve. I do like openness and acceptance as you could tell me anything and I should know you don't try to hurt or harm me in any way... It's kinda my way of living.

I love culture in general, music from all over the world, but in some aspects tend to be a little rigid or boring since I like to eat the same food all the time, for example, although that's one of the things I'm open to change.

I'm interested in learning anything new, and if someone wants to teach or share something with me I shall be or try to be as open as I possibly can :)

Besides that, I love French culture and values... Liberté, égalité, fraternité :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music in general, anything but heavily produced and senseless music since it is an art and it should mean something, right? I love czardas and klezmer for example, as I do too chanson françaises and flamenco. Besides that, talking a bit of pop, I love metal and rock being Led Zeppelin and Dream Theater my favorite bands. Classic music... Etc. *music is kind of one of my things*

I've beginning to see more movies the past year and there are some which I think could tell more than I could: Donnie Darko, Into the Wild, Le hérisson; deep and psychological thrillers. I do like also Monsters Inc, Inside Out, and those kind of "fun" movies. Star Wars fan. One that I must mention alone...

"Buon giorno principessa" - La vita e bella :')

I'm kind of a bookworm but more of the encyclopedic kind, although I'm a harry potters fan. Tolkien sure is one of the greatest of all time, I really loved The Hobbit. I'm currently reading Les Misérables, and may say already it's the best book ever, being currently in the first quarter of the book.

You gotta read a book in its original language to get in the authors mind ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Peru on a trip and met a lot of people and the idea of love within every human and living creature... Ah, and also got friends with patch and a bunch of hippie like clown people :o)

Teach, Learn, Share

Salsa! I can teach you salsa! :)

I can teach you to value little things in life since where I come from you learn that the really hard way.

I shall learn whatever you want to teach me or die trying (of laughter haha).

I may share music, movies, feelings, different perspectives, love, passion... I believe we share what we are when we feel safe and unjudged.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could share my life experience, which is the most important thing I have, but I could really try to give my best in being grateful to you, potencial host ;)
