Most people describe me as relaxed, warm, open-minded, a good listener and conversationalist. I get along and find it easy to talk with just about anyone.

I have worked at some pretty diverse jobs including Newspaper copyeditor, Jungian Psychology Workshop Administrator, Wedding DJ, Tour Guide, Stock Trader, Landlord, Importer, English/Spanish Teacher and Interpreter. My career has never defined me, though.

For me, life’s most important mission is to know yourself, which I’ve found is best accomplished by knowing others.

In short, I value people, relationships, and experiences. My measure of what constitutes success in life is personal growth: how much I’ve overcome my flaws and become a better, more loving human being. In the end, I believe that’s the most valuable thing we can take with us from this journey called life.

PHILOSOPHY

The love you get = the love you give
Thoughts are things: think positive ones!
Emotional Maturity=how relaxed you are when you are being criticized

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love Couchsurfing because I like to travel authentically and it’s a community of people who tend to be very open and value relationships and experiences.
