About Me

sometimes an artist, sometimes a writer

at the moment I am getting a master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology. I spend most of my time reading and researching on precognitive dreams, spiritual visions, extra-sensory perception, and altered states of consciousness. I write essays and articles on these subjects.

By my first degree and by heart I am a visual artist. I try to see beauty in the mundane and extraordinary in the ordinary. After 5 years of traveling and living in different countries I’ve decided to settle down in beautiful Valencia, and I am grateful for what I have found here.

life is a mystery to be lived

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Synchrodestiny! the more i travel the more i realize - nothing is a coincidence. Couchsurfing is a great way to remind me about this. Phenomenon of synchronicity strikes me ever since I went on my first solo journey, and I am still surprised and amazed how people get attracted to certain locations or to one another, as if life auspiciously orchestrates their meetings.
