About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Nous ne pouvons rien connaître à moins que le sujet à connaître ne prenne possession de nous dans notre acte de connaître -Carlos Lenkersdorf-

ABOUT ME

I'm changing my thoughts about life constantly and little by little. I'm trying to do not stick in one "right idea". It's why I'm traveling and I'm learning other languages. To inform myself. To learn differently, in new contexts. And realize how I'm acting, adapt my behaviour and change my mentality.
Petit à petit, je change mes pensées à propos de la vie. J'essaie de ne pas rester fixée sur une bonne "idée" et c'est pourquoi je voyage et j'apprends de nouvelles langues. Je veux m'informer, apprendre différemment et dans divers contextes. Je prends conscience de la manière que j'agis, mais aussi celle d'adapter mon comportement et de changer ma mentalité.
Poco a poco, cambio mis pensamientos sobre la vida. Trato no quedarme con una idea "buena". Es por esta razón que viajo y aprendo nuevos idiomas. Quiero aprender distintamente y en nuevos contextos. Me doy cuenta de la manera que actuó, pero también de como adaptar mi comportamiento y cambiar mi mentalidad.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to give a little bit of myself to each other. I live to learn about people lives, to share with them. I live to help people as I can. I live to understand more and more who I am. Improve myself to be able to give. Again and again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I organised during Fall 08, supported by other CSurfers, Spanish weekly meetings whose give a great opportunity to people to exchange language skills, life experiences and good laughs!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All is about energy and interest. I consider that I've lived my best experiences in México because I found really good friends that I would like to see soon!!
Tout est une question d'énergie et d'intérêt. Je considère que les meilleures expériences que j'ai vécues se sont produites au Mexique parce que j'y ai connu de très bons amis que j'aimerais revoir bientôt!!
Todo es asunto de energia y interes. Considero que las mejores experiencias que he vivido occurieron en México porque he conocido muy buenos amigos que me gustaria ver muy pronto!!

Interests

Well...I like Arts and then, analysing and dreaming. Every passion is so much more intense when I can share with people, with friends...especially to eat, cook and drink only great glass of red wine or a smokey whisky which just warm marvelously the soul!!

Then, walk really fast or quite slowly which help to set thoughts sometimes. Or cycle under a heavy rain and against a cold wind.

Teach, Learn, Share
