About Me

All is like nothing, I could say all of me, but in the end it could be nothing.
Words are not always easy to use to describe a being that can perceive abstract ideas or feeling. But I'll play fair and say that I am a loving person. Love is a great concept that I share with the people around me. I'm also a good listener, a good learner and a great teacher. I don't presume my knowledge, I sometimes use what they call wisdom, but in the end, what I always do are crazyness. I'm crazy in my thoughts, in my mind and in my heart. And the most marvellous about being crazy, is that everybody is! Calm and relax, I don't worry about what things reserved me, because as Marley said, I just need to be happy. As a traveller, I've learned that the unique constance in the universe is called change. Can I handle that? It's a big statement there, but so far so good. I'm a dreamer and very positive, which give me a lot of power in my actions and wishes.

PHILOSOPHY

La vida se presenta a todos de una cierta manera, ciertos son mas listo que otros, y saben descifrar los signos que ella nos manda. Camino hecho de eleciones inmedible que nos lleva tranquilamente o lo que queremos el mas. Si una eleccion no esta tomado siguiendo lo que uno quiere el mas, no se sorprendera hallandose en su lugar de sueño. El hombre es loco, debe acceptar que poco importa el razonamiento, el mas importante no se puede ver con los ojos, lo esencial se ve con el corazon. Ahora y aquí.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS in not a community but it's formed from a big collective of individuals. I try never to forget that. CS is for the good of others and hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had to chance to visit Brazil with the kindness of the Brazilians, discovered my own country by knowing my people, and now I hope hosting people visiting my new home in Montreal

Interests

My nature allows me to be turned on by a lot of different fields. For me, it's all a matter of how good everything goes together. Stargazer, I'll never lose my mind on a long night. Cultures is also making vibrate my whole body, learning about stories, listening to new music, dancing to new beats, filling me with good food, and celebrating diversity and fraternity around the world. Fervent lover of the outdoors, mountains and beaches, I love to swim, walk or bike. Human nature brings the thrill to human connections!I like Tai Chi and Yoga, and I practice Slackline. Cycling is my joy and pleasure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Firewalk over 24 feet of blazing embers.
Having hitchhike over 26,000 km over land.

Teach, Learn, Share

All my life I'm going to the school of life, on his hallways, classrooms, to his greatest lessons without forgetting the to go play outside. I love to learn, by teaching, and sharing, which are precepts really important for me. I'm deeply interested in the history of the life, how it was created, developped, diversified and spread to conquer a planet of water and rock. Ancestry of man, paleoanthropology, anthropology and archaeology.Cultures and people. Slackline and juggling can be shared and taught.
