About Me
ABOUT ME
I work to live and live to travel. I love to make new friends, spend time with old friends, spend hours talking in pubs; listening to good music. I cant get enough of languages, they are wonderful, even if i dont speak it, im always so happy listening to other people speak. I can’t save money. I love to laugh, drink, dance, read, write, paint and run!
PHILOSOPHY
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Once I live in Montevideo I will be happy to host people all the time! For the moment, I share my house with a few people and I have to consult them before allowing anyone to stay...
However, if I am unable to provide a couch, then I am more than happy to advise anyone about places to go in Dublin and I am more than happy to meet up for a drink/coffee/walk etc. So feel free to get in touch!
