CURRENT MISSION

Experience, absorb, grow

ABOUT ME

I am a lover of all things literary. While I am cycling, swimming and traveling, I am also reading, knitting and documenting. I enjoy listening and observing. My blog and photoblog listed below are good representations of who I am.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience. Pay attention, look around, listen, absorb, learn, change. Notice the small things. Avoid the routine.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By throwing riffs in everyday life. By forcing friends and strangers to think or do differently than they would normally, whatever the scale.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far.
Interests

As mentioned previously, I am an observer. I enjoy absorbing sights, sounds and experiences. I like to cause random interruptions in a mundane day; I like to be the reason someone stops to think about something instead of passing through life mindlessly.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

The period of time between dark and sunrise, when everything is blue and there is not yet sun. The first time I saw the Northern Lights. Riding a bicycle 1700 km. Being the only thing to make ripples in a still body of water. Being witness to special human interaction. The stillness of snow.
