About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy! You only live once...

ABOUT ME

In order to start speaking about myself, i have to say that one of the questions I find the most difficult to answer, is where are you from? I was born in Sweden, raised in Argentina, then almost 8 years in Chile, and always, somehow platonically in love with Europe...So I guess this pretty much explains why I tend to feel that my place is a little bit everywhere...and my need to travel, discover new things, new people, new cultures, in order to just find myself...
I recently gave up my job, my apartment, and pretty much my life structured to go out, and realize what I want of life, and why not...find out Who I am? May sound kind of crazy...but that's just 'cause Im a bit crazy...if not a lot, and think that is healthy :)
I consider myself very friendly and sociable person, I really enjoy listening new voices, languages (even those I don't understand), seeing new faces, trying new food, smelling unknown aromas...that's what life is for me, and that's what makes me feel alive...
Each day, I try to live the moment, and embrace "Carpe Diem" as a daily way of life...as well as laugh, have fun, enjoy, and be amazed, is also a daily goal...
No need then to explain why traveling, is one of the things I love the most...A statement that became even stronger in this search I jumped in...

PHILOSOPHY

Let it be...
Your freedom ends where another's begins...
Laugh at least every single day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling, but do not embrace the concept of being just a turist taking photos in a new city...If possible, I strongly believe that get in the way of life of the society you are at, is the most enjoyable, and enriching part of the process...
CS is a way to know people, to see their daily life, their vision of life more than just passing by somewhere with just some pics as memories...What better memory than a goos moment?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've gained good friends, laughed a lot, and really enjoy the ride every single time ;)

Interests

First of all, enjoy every day! Maybe guilty of being hedonistic, but do not regret at all...
Music is one of the most worderful things for me, I can not live without it.I play piano and guitar, although I am still learning.
I love sports, played volleyball since I was 12 years old, and practice yoga nowadays...
Currently I am in a theater workshop, it has made me discover a lot about myself...and I honestly think is the best therapy ever!
