About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"When you don't give yourself a specific place to land you never really miss"

"El andar tierras y comunicarse con diversa gente hace a los hombres discretos" - Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

ABOUT ME

This year is The Year of Tiger. I am a tiger. Not really, that's the one of Rabbit, but who cares, I am feeling as a Tiger still:-)

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day"
- E.B. White

PHILOSOPHY

"No creería en un dios que no supiese bailar" Zaratustra-Nietzsche

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Luck: when preparation meets opportunity, and: Hard work plus determination equals success.

Interests

Reading the world. Without undue redundancy, all I can say is that I read the world like an encounter with books of which I am constantly aiming to be the reader that their pages deserve.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

“A committee takes hours to put into minutes what can be done in seconds”

This pretty much describes working at the UN.
