About Me

CURRENT MISSION

shining my inner joy

ABOUT ME

I'm a simple guy, takes life as it comes, trying to live all my dreams and helping people to find happiness in their lives.
My motto is: "To love is to share"

I am a writer, singer, musician and photographer, and a passionate dancer of argentinian tango !!!

PHILOSOPHY

Peace is an inner state of mind. Know yourself and you'll harness all the powers of Compassion and Wisdom.
Live your life in the moment, die before you die, and each day try to make someone happy in anyway you can. We are all brothers and sisters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed in Berlin for a couple of nights in 2011 to visit a friend I had met hosting in my ashram in Goa.
I had a place I rented in India for two years and hosted a few couchsurfers and Truthseekers.

Interests

Spirituality of nomadic people, shamanic experiences, buddhist philosophy and ancient civilisations.
Writing novels, poems and songs about my experiences.
Surfing in Goa, SriLanka and the British Isles, and hiking in the Himalayas. Maybe the Andes one day soon.
I started argentinian tango two years ago and plan a trip to Buenos Aires, of course !!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I play and write songs about life, love and the Universe. I recently finished to read "The House Of Spirits" from Isabel Allende and I am reading "Harold and Maude", the classic from Colin Higgins.
I do recommend "The Tao Of Pooh" also from Benjamin Hoff ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked bare foot in the Himalayas in the middle of winter, dressed in a white robe with nothing but a stone in my pocket.
