Overview
About Me
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love experiencing a place through the eyes of the people I meet - the "best" falafel place in the city, that quiet corner in the fort, the ice cream place by the bridge. I've surfed a lot of couches and hosted wonderful people through CS, and I enjoy the sense of community with fellow travellers.
Interests
Living in a place for a few months to learn more about its history and its people is the kind of travel I enjoy. I like trying out different professions for short durations, farming being my favourite experiment so far. I believe in minimalism and mindful consumption.
