About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning and living.
Theres a nice old drawing of Goya (18th-19th century painter/etcher) which he did when he was either 80-90 years old... where he drew himself all covered in rags and beard, with two crutches and thse sentence " and I'm still learning"
So pretty much that. Without the crutches.

ABOUT ME

Open minded, talkative, helpful when needed and someone who knows how to listen.
Love to create, to DO stuff... don't have any problem with passively enjoying stuff (I love concerts and movies), but I thrive in creation. I guess having done fine arts helped in that sense, the same as playing music.

PHILOSOPHY

Think positively, trying to get out of the comfort zone, listening to the whole body and trying to have as clean/pure eyes as possible (that might get lost in traslation, but you know what I mean, no judging and ble).
A philosophy teacher I used to have pretty much downed it to:
"Attitude and acceptance"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very interested in humans... even though that sounds a bit alien.
In animation we have to give life to an inanimate object, and studying human behaviour, learnign about it, or listening to anecdotes, life experiences... it all adds up.
Getting to know a city from an insider is always a +!
And getting to know someone in his own place is always a +++! Walls can speak as much as words.

And I love to travel, even though I don't as much as I would like to.

Interests

Culture? as I studied Fine Arts, everything that has to do with that area becomes interesting. MUSIC (both listening and making), hiking... being around nature really, both trees and animals.
Travelling, reading, learning anything really...
