ABOUT ME

I am curious. I have any peculiar talent, cause I can literally get passionate about everything. Sometimes I get lost because of this, but that's just me. I am curious. Curiosity is what moves me and helps me to stay alive. I am curious because I need to understand.

Curiosity is the main reason why I love to listen to people and their stories, to travel, to read, to learn different languages; to take pictures; to write...

I am a seeker, that's why I am a slow traveller. I love to live in the places I visit until I am sure that what I saw and who I met will be deeply rooted in my soul.

PHILOSOPHY

"A man needs to travel. By his own means, not by stories, images, books or TV. By his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what he is. To some day plant his own trees and give them some value. To know the cold to enjoy the heat. To feel the distance and lack of shelter to be well under his own ceiling. A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine it, and not simply as it is or may be. That makes us teachers and doctors of what we have never seen, when we should just be learners, and simply go see it."
- Amyr Klink

"Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke." Herman Hesse

"It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path"
Paulo Coelho

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't remember anymore how I found out about CS but I clearly remember how my first experience moved something inside me. I hosted two young people who were traveling the world by foot and this meeting opened my mind.
