Hello!

My name is Asun and the question "who am I?" had me engrossed for most of the last year. Now I can say: I am a sensitive woman in constant learning, cyclical, changing; I love sharing life with other people, giving and receiving love; I also need time in solitude, in silence, since that's the only way I can listen myself. I see myself as a being of light, and also of darkness. I honor everything that makes me up. I am compassionate, and I am also human. I'm not perfect and I don't want to be.

My profession does not define me; what I do does not define me; the countries or places I have visited either. All this gives me experiences and those experiences are the path that has brought me to this moment, to this being that I am today.

Today I say I am an explorer and a worker for peace. I dream of belonging, of living in harmony within a community; in, with, from, and for nature. I believe in healing through love.

I am going to India to learn the philosophy of yoga., budisim and other life phylosofies that help to live in peace My goal is to know and accept myself better so that I can also know and accept other human beings. I want to embrace my origins and, from that gratitude, collaborate in creating a more beautiful, more tolerant, kinder, more loving world. Namaste!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing it's not a free couch or free hotel but a lifestyle, because it gives me insight into a culture that would be hard to get when you're staying at a hotel or hostel. My main motivation is to meet people and share experiences, learn another way of life, and also to share long talks. In my travels, I would love to meet new people and new mentalities from different countries, learn new traditions, foods, cultures, histories.

I want to live like the people who live there.

--------

Me encanta Couchsurfing porque ofrece la oportunidad de compartir y de conocer la forma de vida de las personas que habitan los países que visito. En este viaje lo que deseo es conocer y aprender de las personas.

Music, Movies, and Books

For some time I decided to only read novels written by women. For many years, they were relegated from my library, since culture has always made male writers more visible. This is my attempt to create a change.

Desde hace algún tiempo me propuse leer solamente novelas escritas por mujeres. Por muchos años, ellas quedaron relegadas de mi biblioteca, ya que la cultura siempre ha visibilizado más a escritores hombres. Este es mi intento de generar un cambio.

Mi pasión es aprender. Puedo compartir información sobre viajes, países que conozco y cuáles son las mejores formas de viajar (las más baratas). También puedo enseñar español, me formé y trabajé como profesora de español.
