PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Respect and a light sincere willingness to meet and/or help fellow travellers, fellow humans...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great... I think couchsurfing is proof of one of the nicest aspects about humanity and it has been mostly so for me

Interests

I love the ocean and very specifically humpback whales … humpbacks are the reason why I moved to the pacific coast
Animals… Nature... Meditation... Gentleness ...
I'm interested in learning how different cultures and individuals view the world and perceive the human experience, how languages depict this from a culture and shape people's minds and perceptions too
Everyone has something right into understanding this life and experiencing it in a beautiful way, we can complement each other, if we only manage to transform the illusion of separation into a loving - kind, inclusive community. We are all here on this one planet ...and it is not as big as some may think it is

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed the Atlantic ocean on a 30 ft sailboat with two people I had just met and it was indeed amazing

Swimming with around 80 whale sharks and two big manta rays in the caribbean

Realize interconnection... with the air, water, the earth, the sun... with everyone and everything at every moment.
Alone is an illusion

Returning to calmness ... breathing in, I know that I am breathing in... breathing out, I know that I am breathing out. The practice of awareness has been a blessing of a tool to find... a true refuge and guide to find home in myself and the cosmos at any, if not every, moment

Teach, Learn, Share

What I'm most happy to share is true presence... hopefully share beautiful moments in nature, sharing literature, sharing insights, sharing food, stories, share being glad to meet without expectations, with gratitude and respect

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share ...my self :)

My honest true self... I can assure to share respect and kindness, appreciation for your time, presence and space
Gratitude...

' The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. ' -Thich Nhat Hanh
