About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand the deep structures of being alive. To accept change. To constantly become. Be aware. Ultimate responsability and freedom. Kindness. Wizardry.

ABOUT ME

Don't you people think is awkward to write "all about you"? Not even my closest friends know "all about me", holly-molly, not even I do. But I'll try just for you, and you, and me.

Look. If you make an effort to look at the tip of your nose, as a consequence you get crosseyed, i.e. sometimes gazing at the obvious is difficult. Writing about oneself is like observing our nose. So I'll talk about my habits.

I meditate. I brush my teeth thrice a day, sometimes twice a day. I try to devote my time to reading, but it is difficult to keep up. Philosophy is demanding. I like to interact with the city I'm at, currently that is Copenhagen. To cycle everyday as means of transport surely gives a rush of joy. I work as a barista and I'm glad about it. I try to spend time in libraries. I have a love-hate relationship with the internet. I never had facebook profile. I check my gmail account too many times a day. I've moved from Mexico two years and a half ago -and counting-, I've been there twice. Last winter I spent time in India in Nepal. It was fascinating.

I do believe we all have the right to be happy and to be loved. I also trust that we will discover that we have an obligation to be loving. To love life. To blossom with it. To be a proud leaf of this cosmic tree. To truly be kind. To understand that we make the choices, but that our choices truly have consequences on ourselves and others, so then be aware. And then be out there, to breath deeply, to sing and dance. To understand that everyone has a way of articulating their own becoming. And maybe, if we love enough we can be happy ourselves, but mostly because we will be making others happy. (Sorry about the typos, I do not feel like editing at the moment).

PHILOSOPHY

To allow the constant blossoming of freedom, in myself and in others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host. I surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've been hosting, but I'm also relatively new to this 'experience'.

Interests

Dancing until sweating. Tarot. Buddhist meditation. Crossfit and yoga. Meeting old friends, making new ones. Morning Coffee. Graphic Novels. Books.

Music. I love music (I can't play it though, but I collect it, mostly digitally).

Silence. Open Lands. Breathing deeply, really deep. Staring at the Horizon. Meditation retreats.

To meet your friends and laugh, and joke around, and be kids, and play. Play.

Music, Movies, and Books

Can´t help but start the namedropping here.

Music: Nick Drake, Brian Eno, Stars of the Lid, The Flaming Lips, Outkast, Funkadelic, My Bloody Valentine, Can, Faust, Kendrick Lamar, Herbie Hancock, Tom Waits, Kraftwerk, Café Tacuba, Animal Collective, The Beatles, The Clash, Television, Swans, and so on.

Books: This year I've been focusing on Deleuze and Guattari. And it takes time, nevertheless it pays off.
I was very moved by Tolstoy's War and Peace. Don Quijote is fantastic. I really enjoyed Peter Pan. William Blake. Merleau-Ponty.

Movies: Akira. My Neighbor Totoro. Blue Velvet. Slacker. Before Sunrise/Before Sunset. Me and you and everyone we know. The Big Lebowski.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finishing my masters in Copenhagen University and one week after take a plane to Nepal. And then trekking in the Lang Tang area. It was dreamy.

I also saw a huge UFO Mothership hovering above Chichen Itza pyramid, there was a dinosaur on top, he flied, from the spacecraft delicious chocolate truffles descended like snowflakes, they were cosmicly tasty. That was the best birthday ever. And yet you can´t compare this two spending two days in the last Maha Kumbh Mela.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has something to teach, it is just me who needs to look with the right eye.
