About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live, to become, to change, to know, to learn... / Vivir, ser, cambiar, conocer, aprender...

ABOUT ME


Please check couch info before sending a request // Por favor chequear la información de couch antes de hacer una solicitud

I am ever changing! I’m also fun loving, loyal, relaxed, friendly, temperamental, shy, socially awkward many times, interested in people of all kinds, an optimist, a dancer, a listener, thirsty for knowledge… any knowledge, I have a weird sense of humor – or so I’ve been told!

PHILOSOPHY

* Eadem Mutato Resurgo - Although changed I rise again the same

I love to think that we are continously changing, maybe such small pieces at a time that we - and others - don´t notice it. We are who we are but then again a person, an experience, a book can make us comtemplate our lives and realize that we want something different, not to change drastically but to improve our persona. We are not perfect but that doesn´t stop us from searching new feelings and thoughts or just old ones that enrich us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host/meet/surf :D although the last one not as much as I would like :(

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

18/02/11
He recibido a muchas personas en mi casa, por una noche, por dos semanas, venezolanos, extranjeros, una persona, siete personas, hombres, mujeres, parejas, bebés… pare usted de contar :D He disfrutado mucho ser host y espero que las buenas personas y las buenas historias continúen pasando por mi casa!

He surfeado la casa de venezolanos hasta ahora pues no he viajado al exterior, ha sido lo máximo pues el trato que he recibido es como el de un amigo de toda la vida.

Además de eso en el grupo de Caracas (donde vivía anteriormente) participé en muchos meetings y city tours, también tuve la oportunidad de ir a la Cascada del Vino (Edo. Lara) con varias personas del país.

Aquí en la isla no he visto mucha actividad (hasta ahora!) pero “if you build it they will come”, come then!

Interests

I´m interested in anything , everything and because of that in (almost) anybody. I´m a curious person so I´m easily distracted. Now, to narrow down the field I like books, traveling, talking about other cultures and customs, food, jewelry, antropology, fashion, movies, and so on and so forth :)
