About Me

ABOUT ME

Characteristics seem pretty relative, when you should describe yourself. If i should try anyway the first thing that hits my mind is that I'm relatively short. But it is working out quite well for me, in dancing situations and relations, still being able to sit on people's shoulders and stuff like that makes life a little more funky. I love dancing. A lot. Sometimes my mouth is having a hard time pronouncing the TH in English and the double R's in Spanish, but beside of that I'™m pretty well at speaking.. I Like to talk. To listen. To observe and reflect.
I love festivals. Especially the smallest one in Nakke (near Rørvig in the top West of Sealand), where the music is crappy or fascinating and the people about 1000 in numbers, shining, beautiful and filled with euphoria and loving calmness, doing alot by doing nothing at all, except being.

A few years ago I traveled two times half a year through South America. The first trip was a flow of an unknown bliss and stunning revelations of just how overwhelming the nature can be and just how warm, open and inspiring people and relations can be and become. The second trip was in a way calmer and more of a sensible grow and then I was praised with even more warm and immediate friendships growing from sunny beaches, deathproof cars to moonlit mountains.
I could hardly imagine a life worthy of more gratefulness.

The last few years I have been so lucky to live in a wonderful apartment with friends and with 3-4 more friends living only two staircases down, in my favourite part of Copenhagen, Nørrebro. Only the last year I have been forced to move around from place to place, like so many other half-homeless people in Copenhagen. But it is a friendly city, and the anthropology study, seems in the best way both honest and exotic, so I am enjoying it alot.
This year I am studying in Granada, living in a big lovely comun in the city center, exploring my place in this multi-cultural, musically rich and scenric students town...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed my first to couches a cold Winter in Prague some years ago. Prague was incredibly beautiful standing out specially clear through the thin and cold air, and I had a very pleasant and easy experience with the couch surfers I met. I've hosted only one time at my parent's home, which was a lovely experience.
I have surfed couches in Paris, Argentina, Colombia, Portugal and Uruguay, all of them really memorable experiences!

Interests

I love to melt into good movies, and have been doing a bit homemade movies too. Taking pictures is something I value a lot as well, artisticly meditative and memory-saving.. I love dancing, for joy and for the sake of feelings, suppressed or expressed, that depends... and I’ve always been writing and drawing some, depending on times. I never practised much musically but am slowly intending with the basic of voice and percussions to engage in the sporadic house jam sessions.. Very nice waves of chaos and harmony comes from there..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking care of a small farm in Chile, in the middle of the stunningly green mountains filled with hundreds of avocadotrees (!!!), while the owner was away to take care of his mother was one of the most rich experiences I've ever had. It is hard to explain things like this, since it is mostly about inner movement, talking to a horse or painting a chicken's house baby blue and pink to make the chickens start laying eggs inside again..

Teach, Learn, Share

Living in an amazing comunity in Granada last year I learned something extremely important, though simple it may seem, it goes like this:
Sharing is Living (Compartir es Vivir).
Eating also is living. So sharing food, and the making of is definitely the base of most things. And really, sharing anything from silence, to loud drum and song sesions, wonders of films, stories of lives and dreams, puzzling questions or the moment of a falling shooting star.
Living is Sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food & Tales of strange dreams (Accomanied by red whine and cigarettes, often the food is better made and the stories are better told).

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, United States, Uruguay

Countries I’ve Lived In
