Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To be dominated by the world and dominate him.
ABOUT ME
A moving metamorphosis, trying to answer this question day by day. I don't believe in self description, so I recommend you do it by yourself.
PHILOSOPHY
The only thing that I know is that know nothing, but I am really persistent to know every thing.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
" I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant, you know? I mean, it's like we go through life with our antennas bouncing off one another, continuously on ant auto-pilot with nothing really human required of us. Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there. All action basically for survival. All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient polite manner. "Here's your change." "Paper or plastic?" "Credit or debit?" "You want ketchup with that?" I don't want a straw, I want real human moments. I want to see you. I want you to see me. I don't want to give that up. I don't want to be an ant, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, no. I don't want to be an ant either. Heh. Yeah, thanks for kind of jostling me there. I've been kind of on zombie auto-pilot lately, I don't feel like an ant in my head, but I guess I probably look like one. It's kind of like D.H. Lawrence had this idea of two people meeting on a road. And instead of just passing and glancing away, they decide to accept what he calls "the confrontation between their souls." It's like, um, freeing the brave reckless gods within us all."

I think it is a little redundant in Couchsurfing.org, but I like to travel and to know people, and this is the way I've moved to Ireland in the half of the year of 2013.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
All the time I'm astonished with what the life can reveal and each minute is amazing and special for me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd been a teacher, and i really enjoyed it. I believe that in the same time you are teaching, you are learning. I believe in liberating education.
