I’m Rodrigo, 36 years old and raised in a neighbour at the south of Buenos Aires.
I’m traveling around Brazil, a place that called me for years me with its weather, landscapes, dance and mood.
I spent most of the last year in a small town in rural Bolivia called Samaipata. There I looked after and repaired houses, installed internet on an alternative school in a mountain and coordinated a vision for the development of the local tourism, but mainly I had time for me, my personal work, exploration and deconstruction. I also cooked, danced, massaged, made friends and exercised a lot.
Before that I worked for 10+ around technology and project management, from big companies to small cooperatives, and participated in social projects related with education, employment, communitary communications and technology. I hold a degree as Information Systems Engineer.

My daily practice is something like active meditation, which mainly means regular observation of my own thoughts (plans, opinions...), physical sensations and emotions. From there I trust in the alignment and healing that comes from becoming aware and accept things as they are.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like to couchsurf as a way of having more opportunities to share myself and experiencing places introduced by locals.

兴趣

Practiced yoga for some years, discovering tango and dancing as a connection with body, food and energy conciousness (vegan, vegetarian, organic, fair trade). Involved in social projects related with culture (abogados culturales), alternative education (dementes libres), inclusion (proyecto Nahual, rizomatica).
