About Me

Nature lover, yogi, industrial engineer (this is one of the things I less identify with nowadays), organic gardener, confident, positive, lover, open to whatever the universe offers to me. Vegetarian. Dog person, but also love cats. Star signAquarius, so independent and self sufficient most of the time. Traveler (yes!), singer, dancer. Uncomplicated... :)

Enough self propaganda Lol

PHILOSOPHY

We’re one, and once we realize our connection with everything around us, then the magic starts to happen. I love connecting with people who believe in universal magic! And I love even more to see when people start to find out about that!

Nothing is good or bad, nothing is permanent. There is no sense in regretting the past or worrying about what is coming. Plan, but be flexible to change it.

The only 2 things we know in life:
1st we’re going to die.
2nd we don’t know when.
Enjoy the moment. Today is the best day!

Exchanging culture and helping each other is the way to grow as universe inhabitants. We should get more awareness that we’re just part of a living system, interdependent of all living and non-living parts.

Love and gratitude!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
