ABOUT ME

movies. definitely. i would spend my whole day talking about them. i´m also really interested in reading and music. my bike (green and old).
too moody sometimes. too big hearted at others. being here & there has taught me how to be resilient. and tolerant: cool, calm, and collected.
good hearts and heads, please!
hm.. cooking? wine?
corners.
hearing my shoes on the floor. specially after chicago and the snow.
i also do not like answering things like that. never know what to say. so come on board and discover yourself!

PHILOSOPHY

"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i´m not that new here anymore, but still trying to find ways to contribute more and more to this community. i loved all my experiences with couchers-surfers and do believe this only enriches our lives.
i also participate by READING people's profiles before sending them a request. you should start doing the same, hun? =)

just decided to completely ignore requests that clearly show you have NOT read my profile.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience with CS has been fantastic so far and I also think people should take this community more seriously. It's NOT about NOT paying for a hotel room guys. It would be nice if people could realized that more clearly.

Interests

music, yoga, languages, books, people-person, traveling, food, running, and good conversation.
red dry wine. always dry. a damn good stout is welcome as well.
got any cues for some pool? I also take any music recommendations.
wanna make me happy? coffee + dark (very dark) chocolate.
welcome to the world of possibilities.
non-material value.
