About Me

Since January 2016, I began my journey with Couchsurfing — and my life has never been the same.
For me, Couchsurfing is not just about exchanging a place to sleep without money; it’s a profound act of mutual trust. It’s not about offering a “night in a hotel” but sharing a bed, a couch, a kitchen, a story. It’s about connection — cultural, emotional, and human.
About me:
I love every form of the Earth and every expression of humanity — in all its polarities.
I find joy in swimming, hiking and climbing in the mountains, biking through cities and trails, cooking with love, reading books that open new worlds, dancing salsa with passion, meditating in stillness, and volunteering both in rural and urban communities.
I am deeply curious about new cultures and languages — every person I meet is a book I want to read.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm Couchsurfing because I'm interested in getting to know the local culture from the inside—not just as a tourist, but by sharing time with people who actually live in the place.
I like the idea of sharing, of exchanging stories, meals, perspectives... I believe that enriches both travel and life.
I always learn something from each person who hosts me or whom I visit. And I also try to leave something behind: a recipe, a meaningful conversation, a helping hand with whatever is needed.
In a time when almost everything is measured in money, bartering appears as a deeply human gesture. It's not just an exchange of things or services—it's a way of saying, "I have something that might be useful to you, and you have something that can nourish me."
Bartering reminds us that value isn't always counted in bills. Sometimes a homemade meal, an honest conversation, a place to sleep, or help in the garden carry a weight that no bank account can measure. In times of economic uncertainty and distrust in traditional systems, bartering is a gentle, almost silent form of resistance—but a powerful one.
It also brings us back to something essential: reciprocity. I don’t give because I expect an exact return, but because I trust that the flow of giving and receiving creates community, connection, networks of support. In that sense, platforms like Couchsurfing aren’t just about “free hospitality,” but a modern form of bartering: I share my space and my time, and in return, I receive company, stories, connection.
Returning to bartering is also about looking at others with genuine interest: What can you do? What do you enjoy? What do you need? Simple questions that rebuild what the system has made complex: solidarity.
In this world that speeds everything up, bartering is a pause—and a bet on another way of being in relationship. More human, more connected, more free.

Music, Movies, and Books

🌿 Musical Roots
- Folk: Based on acoustic instruments such as guitar, charango, flute, drum, or harp, with influences from Indigenous, Latin American, Andean, or Celtic music.
- Spirituality: Lyrics often invoke nature, the soul, the elements, Mother Earth, or the spirit. Songs may include medicine chants, mantras, or prayers.
- Ancestral medicine: Inspired by shamanic traditions, healing rituals, sacred plant ceremonies, or Indigenous practices.
🎶 Representative Artists
- Danit, Ayla Schafer, Peia, Mirabai Ceiba, Snatam Kaur, Curawaka, and Nessi Gomes are prominent voices in this movement.
- Many sing in multiple languages (Spanish, Quechua, Nahuatl, Portuguese, Hebrew, Sanskrit) to honor various traditions.
- Meditation, yoga, cacao ceremonies, temazcales, women's circles, family constellations, or simply to connect with the sacred.
This kind of music isn’t just something you listen to — it’s something you feel, breathe, and honor. It’s an invitation to remember what’s essential.

🎻 Timeless Classics
- Ludwig van Beethoven – His symphonies and piano sonatas remain pillars of instrumental music.
- Johann Sebastian Bach – A master of counterpoint, his organ and harpsichord works are deeply influential.
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – His chamber music and piano concertos are gems of clarity and balance.
🎹 Contemporary & Modern
- Yann Tiersen – Known for the Amélie soundtrack, blending piano, violin, and accordion in a poetic style.
- Ludovico Einaudi – His emotional minimalism has won millions over with pieces like Nuvole Bianche.
- Evgeny Grinko – A Russian pianist with a melancholic and cinematic style.
- The Piano Guys – They creatively fuse classical music with modern pop in instrumental arrangements.
🎸 Relaxing & Emotional Instrumentals
- Hermanos Gutiérrez – A Latin duo blending guitar with meditative desert atmospheres.
- Vitamin String Quartet – String versions of rock and pop songs.
- Kevin MacLeod – A prolific composer of royalty-free music, widely used in films and digital media.

Perhaps Inception (by Christopher Nolan) is your favorite because it achieves something few films do: it stimulates the mind and stirs the emotions at the same time. Here are a few reasons why it might resonate deeply with you:
- It explores the human mind and levels of reality, which aligns beautifully with your interest in consciousness, perception, and inner processes.
- It blends the philosophical with the emotional: Cobb's story isn't just intellectual—it’s about grief, guilt, love, and redemption.
- The concept of dreams within dreams may resonate with your spiritual search or reflections on internal systems, constellations, or healing.
- Visually and musically, it's intense and immersive, with Hans Zimmer’s hypnotic score striking deep emotional chords.
- And of course, that open ending leaves you thinking, feeling... and wanting to watch it again.
It's not a film that just entertains—it invites you to question your reality and explore your inner worlds. No wonder it sits at the center of your cinematic constellation.
