About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I can write using both hands at a time. That sometimes feels like my biggest talent =)

I rarely finish telling stories, I like word plays, I like wandering all around the city ( the best thing is to choose the direction when you're at the crossroads. You have to look where the green light will appear first, and that's it, who knows where you will end up?). But most of all, I enjoy getting to know something new.

PHILOSOPHY

Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más. Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar

Besides that, I'm a feminist and generally a leftist - a juster society is possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted ( and I loved it!), I surfed ( and I loved that too ), I've met wonderful people and I'm planning to keep it going.

Interests

Drawing, painting, making things. Sociology and anthropology. Languages, philosophy, biology. Getting lost, walking for a long time. Surprises. Frogs, rats, birds and llamas. Music and reading, cooking, talking nonsense and eating nuts. Name it and I probably like it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've kissed a frog (no, I wasn't hoping for it to turn into a prince), I've got lost in the mountains at night without flashlight, I've seen that there are amazing people and amazing places and I've managed to believe that it will be getting better and better.

Teach, Learn, Share

Umm... I can teach you to make handmade things, I can teach you some cooking, I can teach you lots of words in different languages and probably will try to bury you up to your head in random facts ( of 'Did you know that slow lori is the only poisonous primate on earth?' kind ) - not useful, but might be fun
