About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Weave the Americas :: Tejer las Américas -- Grow, Learn, Share, Create, Connect // Crecer, Aprender, Compartir, Crear, Conectar

ABOUT ME

Hola, soy Jus! Nací en San Francisco, California pero desde los dieciséis años la Vida me viaja por el mundo. Mi primer idioma es el inglés pero mi lenguaje interno es el castellano (el español). Estos días mi viaje tiene un propósito mas enfocado. La visión de Tejer las Américas es conectar a los hermosos creadores con quienes me cruzo por todas las Américas: Norteamérica, Centroamérica y Sudamérica, para formar una red activa donde intercambiamos ideas, recursos, inspiración y amistad a través de la creatividad. Para mí, el arte es una manera de conectarme con el ritmo de la vida, contribuir mi propio pulso, e improvisar junto con el universo. La creatividad puede tomar millones de formas—lo que me interesa más allá que la obra en sí es la experiencia de crear, y como las personas se abren cuando participan en actos de creación. Sigo mi camino sin saber exactamente adonde me lleva el misterio, disfrutando de las oportunidades para aprender y crecer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a courteous, pleasant and enthusiastic guest, and bring with me all of my life experiences and oftentimes instruments and art supplies.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've used couchsurfing to find wonderful hosts in Lisboa, Madrid, Paris, and in Northern Argentina. Thank you so much for sharing your cities! Fado in Lisboa, Brazilian dancing in Madrid, hot chocolate and bicycling and photo exhibits (and snow!) in Paris, rainstorms and cat cuddles in Posadas... Couchsurfing is an awesome community and I look forward to hosting when I get more settled.

Interests

Eye contact, collaboration, illustration, emotion, reason, plants, the ocean (especially the trash conglomeration in the Northern Pacific Gyre), the visual patterns found in nature, shared moments, music, dance, stories, words in general, Picasso, perspective, public spaces, gifts between people. Animals are pretty cool too.
