ABOUT ME (ENGLISH)

i dont have a tv since march 2010.
person which is still young at heart. Loves simple life and freedom.

i did a social experiment: two years (july 2014 -september 2016 without paying rent or mortgage in euros , i only offered services (mostly linguistic type but as well agricultural) in exchange
During the experiment I was able to live on around 150 euro /month and still was not missing anything

I offered German classes from scratch and English conversation
i can explain you how to get more independent from the money system in your own life.

see a short English video about my experience in the exchange and gift economy: https://vimeo.com/user34895755
long version: 26 min: https://vimeo.com/158168256

web page on the project in spanish: http://inmersionlinguistica.wix.com/mejora-tu-ingles

i dedicate lots of time to explain about about the unsustainability and injustice of the current financial system. local money is to the economy what linux and open code is to your computer system.

CASTELLANO
empezaba de no mirar la tele en 2010 (aprovechando el apagón analógico)y leer sobre la injusticias de sistema financiero que tenemos por ahora y sus alternativas.

desde julio 2014 hasta septiembre 2016 estaba haciendo un experimento social con lo que me gustaba de ver si podía cubrir mi necesidad de una vivienda en una habita sin pagar euros, sino ofrecer servicios útiles por intercambio directo durante dos año (en diferentes familias)

Concretamente ofrecí conversación en inglés o alemán o clases de alemán desde cero. proponía el tiempo de medio mes o un mes, por ejemplo y que sea en o los alrededores de Barcelona, donde tenia que ir a dar clases de alemán en dos centros cívicos.

PHILOSOPHY

if you give positive energy , you will receive it as well.

Sharing and giving enriches your life. The only challenge is to convey this message to others.
ultimately getting very much inspired by charles eisenstein : www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEZkQv25uEs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

connector,giving and taking and exchanging information and opinions,to prepare for the changes to arrive.

i really like non comercial exchanges (LETS)
like the community exchange (ces.org.za), the timebanks
the webpage streetbank for exchanges in your neighbourhood

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

last years i mostly hosted in Barcelona, and met amazing peole, but never surfed, did not work out in norway, but did work out in albania

always try to filter out simple freeloaders and mindless party people,

pero mucho experiencia como autostopista:
