Personal Description

Open, honest, friendly, crazy with a feeling for sanity, somewhat overmethological, interested in loads of stuff, somtimes a little scared with bravoury at the bottom, laughing about myself when i hit my head, still changing and growing all the time, just so many me´s. Im different at different times and situations.

How I Participate in CS

Offer a couch from time to time and maybe use one as well in some time ahead..

CouchSurfing Experience

Before getting to know this network? Only highly necessary ones or crashing ones after parties. Oh, yeah, and some playing videogames all night at friends house and falling a sleep ones. But no, the couchsurfing surfing starts here..

Interests

Languages, education, world, people, myself, lucid dreaming, travels, poetry, writing, prove the pen to be mightier than the sword, whats happening in Porto Alegre, Japan and aikido, massage, working travels to earn fast good money, life in general, where we are heading, women, love, climbing, ocean, chocolate.

Philosophy

Live and learn

Music, Movies, Books

Libraries filled with loads of stuff that makes you feel good, that teach you a thing or two, that help you cry those tears that were so buried inside of you..
Or just some good laughs- One of the books I read which brought all this in one book. The way of the peaceful warrior, by Dan Millman. Nice. More about finding out your own road, Siddharta, by Hermann Hesse, i just read this book about men, Robert Bly´s Iron John. Really educational. Every feminist should have a copy too! Music.. im into troubadours. From Catalunya I took Joan Manuel Serrat, his early discs. Leonard Cohen is great. Dancing or exercising to Hip Hop and Drumnbass, to elektro/Tekno. Warm voices and good lyrics have won the heart though. Film.. well, films that make you go WHAAAAA! every now and then, or those that get the comedy rocking, or the romance blushing, or those that have this message and after you go with new inspirations working on your aspirations. Example.. Favela Rising made me want to LEARN and express, Shawshank redemption was nice to feel that a lot is possible, just by writing letters, I grew up with Ronja, Rövertotter and Starwars was fed to me together with the porridge. I saw those too many times. Popular music from Vittula, great. So was Adams Apple. Mifune´s last song. Spanish, to scandinavian cinema. Soem hollywood brainwashing every now and then. Or Linklaters Waking life was great. Got me back into the Lucid dreaming.

Types of People I enjoy

All kinds, I especially learned heart for the people from more to the south who more easily seem to express cariño.. it is a good learning school for a guy from more upnorth from where I´m from. And the people I had the worst experience with, in the end, might have even taught me the most about myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

The secret of change consist of concentrating your energy in creating something new, and not in fighting with the old.

I have experienced many problems in life; most of which never happened.

We seldom meet somebody in life of whom we have nothing to learn.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

first natural lucid dream, a helicopter flight at age 6, learning to actually make a lot of noise while you laugh, give importance to someone else more than yourself and feel that you want her to be happy and feel that that is what matters most, seeing coming up of the sun on the beach, being in a sweatshop with a shaman and sharing life pains with fellow people.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

Great. Beats Nokia. Not just connecting people, but making travel accesible and an even greater learning exp. try to get that in your free phone package.

Locations Traveled

TRAVELED: Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Oman, Panama, Peru, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States
LIVED: Belgium, Germany, Ireland (Republic of), Netherlands, Norway, Spain

I've surfed Kaj's place in Bergen for a weekend.
It was fantastic and really crazy!
Kaj is actually working as a guide and he took me to guides' Vorspiel and party. It was very nice international society of very free people who are able to enjoy a lot.

Why was that weekend so crazy? It was full of unexpected and unplaned meetings and events.

Kaj is very talkative and open-minded person with a lot of travelling experience, interested very much into languages. I was amazed as Kaj was able to switch among 3 languuges in one conversation (well, I was also a little jealous :-)

So what else than to add: Thank You very much, I enjoyed Bergen a lot!

Endlich! The KaT arrived to my house and made himself comfortable. He introduced me to a new idea and I truly believe there are paralell universes (y uno de esos nos pertenece). Spontaneous and smiley, came sick and hopefully he will leave feeling much better and ready to face what life has for him NOW. A separarse de las cargas no? It is easy to hug him :)
