About Me

I'm Estuardo, aka Tato, or if it is easier for you, you can call me Stuart.

Soy Estuardo o Tato, terapeuta holístico (naturópata, acupuncturista, masajista, practicante de barras de Access, tarotista, también me gusta escribir).

I'm an Alternative Therapist (naturopath, acupuncturist, massage therapist, Access Consciousness Bars practitioner, tarot reader). I also enjoy writing stuff. All the little that I know I'd be happy to share with you.

Pienso que el tiempo-espacio tiene un efecto extraño cuando viajo, me siento vivo.

But as all of us who are here do, I love to Travel. Whenever Im somewhere new, time and space seem to take on a new meaning. I feel more alive, more connected to the world around us.

A través de Couchsurfing tenemos la oportunidad de conocer el mundo de una manera más personal.

When we travel with CS, we have the opportunity to truly get to know someone on a deeper level. This can be a truly transformative experience, as it allows us to see the world through someone else's eyes and gain a new perspective on life.

El mundo es el mar y en estas olas de personas surfeamos, fluimos. Eso es "destino" y asi es como tenemos historias maravillosas que contar.

The world is our ocean, and we are the waves that surf upon it. We are all connected, and our lives are intertwined.

When we travel, we have the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life. We can share our stories, laugh and rejoice. Lets create lasting memories.

Algunas citas / some quotes that capture the essence of CS:

El ave no es del nido donde nace, es del cielo donde vuela...

"The bird does not belong to the nest where it was born, it belongs to the sky where it flies."

" Otra casa otro cielo otro tiempo / darán lo mismo: son lo mismo / La vida no está en otra parte / la vida está donde uno está". Oscar Hahn

"Another house, another sky, another time / will be the same: they are the same / Life is not elsewhere / life is where one is." - Oscar Hahn

"Cada día es un viaje, y el viaje en sí mismo es nuestro hogar." —Matsuo Basho

"Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is our home." - Matsuo Basho

“La gente dice que lo que todos estamos buscando es el significado de la vida. Yo no creo que eso sea realmente lo que estamos buscando. Yo creo que lo que realmente buscamos es una experiencia de estar vivos” Joseph Campbell

"When you have more than you need build a bigger table, not a higher fence."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a chance to connect and share with people from all corners of the world, share stories, and learn from each other. I believe kindness is a superpower and I welcome anyone who truly embraces a world without fences. But but if you are blind to priviledges, gentrification, and so on, please don't brother. 

All of us, from every corner of the World should use this hospitality platform as a mean for a global repair. By giving and receiving hospitaly we are building bridges, dodging and defying the walls that divide.

Let's travel with purpose.

My positive flow
Como surfeador:

Donde yo reciba hospedaje es mi casa por ese momento y la bendigo y pido al universo que la prospere / Where I get a couch is home for that brief time, therefore I bless it and ask the universe to prosper your house.

Invitame a tu isla. I try to dip in! I want to meet you, be part of your world, and learn from it, and affect it positvely, if possible, before I sail again. Shaka!

Dentro de la flexibilidad de CS y de nuestro espíritu viajero (muchas veces) los planes no salen como uno espera. Muchas otras, no hay plan, sin embargo, no perdamos la hospitalidad (de ambas vías anfitríon-surfer/ surfer-anfitríon). Si yo como surfer o huésped fallo, espero tener una humana justificación.

I would like to host inspiring people, radical faeries, story tellers, magic makes, musicians, healers, spiritual people, bikers. You, that are reading this.
