CURRENT MISSION

Alternatives, Willingness and Ebb and Flow

ABOUT ME

I am an eager learner, patient listener, and curious explorer. I love travelling and have used much of my free time in the last few years to do so. I am very interested in understanding how other cultures embrace life and define what is right/wrong, beautiful/ugly, desirable/undesirable.
Right now, I am on a quest for meaning; I wish to rediscover reasons for dreaming of a better world (whatever that means remains to be seen). I wish to embrace my own abilities and capacity to overcome obstacles and to see the worth of the world around me.

PHILOSOPHY

Porque cada di­a es un comienzo nuevo,
Porque esta es la hora y el mejor momento.
Benedetti

I am practicing mindfulness of the present moment and a focus on participating in my own life while identifying my thoughts, judgements, expectations and feelings.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I believe in sharing with others, profiting from rich cultural encounters and most of all, in the power and energy I receive from knowing I am not alone... there are others around me that care for similar issues, have similar questions and enjoy similar things. That is powerful.

兴趣

I love to read historical novels, fiction, short stories, poetry. To practice my french, I have recently developed an appreciation for french film. Concerts, performances and festivals are all plans that I love going too. The best kind of lunch is a picnic in a park, in the mountains, or by the lake. I love to hike and although I'm not the best at it, I also like biking. A good conversation is my ideal afternoon.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

A love of learning, a life of discovery. Authenticity in sharing the good, the not so good and the dark corners of what we all go through.
