Nature is our greatest asset! 🏞️

Hey, my name is John and I'm an environmental lawyer and human rights activist from Bolivia🇧🇴.

My life's mission is to address issues of environmental degradation in relation to inequality, and the most vulnerable, including indigenous peoples who have a lot to teach to our current society.

I am a very energetic person with a revolutionary, but relaxed spirit. As I shape myself with travel experiences, I get to experience shifts around my purpose in the universe/world/society/family, etc.

Where am I going?
Where will I arrive?
And, what is next for me?
Breath... embrace this moment...All is gone or turns insignificant!

UPDATE
I'm currently working in Panama for the UN as a consultant for environment and human rights🏞️. In 2022, I founded the project "REDAMPIC Bolivia" dedicated to the protection of indigenous ppls and Afrobolivian right to a healthy environment 🌿 and ancestral knowledges🌌 If you can connect me with someone interested in the topic, I'd be more than grateful to you!!

P.s. Don't use as tinder, just looking for friends

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I love trying new things and aventures, leaving aside our judgemental mindsets for a while to engage with the local experience and reality.

I'm willing to engage in a journey of local discovery, trying new food, using the local transportation, exploring unconventional places and connecting with people living in those environments.

兴趣

I love old history (not an expert), understanding different religions and customs and learning about almost any topic (environment, religion and myths, sociology, philosophy, as my favorites).

I'm down for any trekking plan.🏞️ Always catching up summits and sunsets.

I'm relatively quiet, but I love dancing, so I can't help hanging out sometimes to the end of consequences when I feel that I didn't party in a long time.

Above all, I like to connect with people avoiding superficial conversations🌿

Currently, I'm working on strengthening my body, so any advice or tips on this are more than welcome 💪🏽

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

✔️I went volunteering in India with two human rights NGOs, but soon after that, I ended up investing most of my time in a spiritual experience that took me through the teachings of the Gita, Buddhism, ancient Andean traditional medicine and philosophy.

✔️I participated in a two month meditation retreat with monks from the Dhammakaya Tradition in Thailand 🇹🇭

✔️I survived a typhoon in the Philippines after having done some careless scuba diving at one of the most biodiverse areas for marine conservation.

✔️I went through two mind-blowing spiritual experiences by resorting to ancient medicine from my indigenous background and inheritance.

✔️I'm leading a civil society organization in charge of promoting and defending the territorial and ancestral rights of indigenous communities.

✔️ Currently employed by the United Nations in a project aimed at addressing the triple planetary crisis (pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss)
