De ningún lado del todo y de todos lados un poco - From nowhere completely and from everywhere a little bit.
— Jorge Drexler on TED 2017

Expression over perfection, vitality over finish, fluctuation over repose, the individual over society and the inner over the outer.
— William C. Seitz, American artist and Art historian

When I die I want to be thoroughly used up. The harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no 'brief candle' for me. For me it is a glorious torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
— G. Bernard Shaw (from a speech to a group of graduating Brighton Art School students, 1929)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Holding a living human heart in my hand during a surgery in São Paulo

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing a meal and playing music together is mandatory in my place.

Apart from that,

I can give you really good pointers (nothing touristy) to get you started on enjoying your Barcelona visit and hang out with you if you like.

And always energy.
