Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Very helpful
Mainly to: attend outdoor activities (Kajak, festivals, Forest), meet people when I travel, host/be hosted.

- I hosted quite a lot of people so far, and I have been hosted around 10 times or maybe more :)

Interests

-everyday is unique. Be patient and enjoy the present !
The future might or might not arrive
Ignorance is very normal, and be aware of our ignorance is the key to walk through a satisfactory and joyful life path.
-Fan of balkan and gypsy music.
-Portugal/Galicia bagpipe
-Stay healthy is the responsible way to live -- try not go mad for health though :)

-In my spare time: meditate, watch youtube, documentaries, play squash, yoga, stretching, climbing, forest walks or practise something legal like languages or messing around.

Music, Movies, and Books

-I fall asleep pretty fast with movies, even at the cinema.
Thus, I watch movies at my own pace, at the right moment, and sometimes only for a while. I don't mind watching a movie during some days in small parts..
-Preferences: Black&white, film noir, classics, social, politics, mafia, murder cases, biographies, black comedy

-Other important thing is that it must be in V.O.

-Books: very rarely.
-I don't watch news.. but I talk about politics, nutrition, neuroscience, food, secrets of the mind, daily habits, social patterns; and I make jokes on the way (I am not expert in nothing on the above, but who cares...)

-Music: raggacore, 30's and 40's swing big bands, Xavier Cugat, Arabic and sufi music, psychedelic bollywood, psychedelic cumbia, Amalia Rodrigues, Balkan, Breakcore, Ed Cox, dub, dj\rupture, La Paquera de Jerez, fanfare ciocarlia

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To live every day without dying. - (we only die once, so no worries. Apparently, everybody dies :(
I'm planning to live 100 years.
Vipassana :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn, learn, learn, learn... too much intellectual learning. Learning needs to be controlled!
I can show you how I live, what is important for me... How I cook. (whole food - plant based)

I sometimes share my food. (full of veggies);

What I Can Share with Hosts

-Homemade food - I´ve developed a no name-own food style - Yummy ;)
-I don´t have a good memory for past stories of my life; i am more about future plans. But I can try to remember something if you are interested.
-Awkward moments, Silence, chats about everything... I can say that I am a good listener
