About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To construct and inhabit new schemas

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious and open person. I like reading, writing, meeting people, having long and playful conversations, making music and listening to music, traveling... which are in a sense one and the same thing. I believe utopia must be enacted today. I think creativity and poetry should be the core of human activity.

PHILOSOPHY

Imagination and creativity are the ways to create new truths that make the world more livable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and being hosted. Talking, helping and sharing both ways.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing. Learning a great deal and expanding my world.

Interests

The paths that communicate literature and science, poetry and theory, reflection and practice, reason and non-sense. The impossibility to remove one from the other. Musik, specially percussions and guitar. Social cooperative projects. Traveling in any fashion posible. The sea.
