About Me

I have been living abroad now the last seven years, not staying in one place for very long. I have had a bunch of jobs: humanitarian, health, education, recreation, labor... I will be in Vietnam now until December, and will move to Albania in January.

I love going out to bars and clubs, or just going for a walk. I'm not a huge fan of museums or touristy places, but if there's really something you want to show me in your city I'd be down.

I don't like stuff. I've lived out of my 40L backpack the last seven years, always preferring experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted, surfed, and met with couchsurfers all over the world. I've used it to share a car rental; go hiking, and hitch a ride in a car, a train and a horse.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used couchsurfing for a while now, but less and less as the website changes. Thankfully I've never had a bad experience, most of my experiences were great, and the not so great ones were still pretty great.

Interests

I love people! Our customs, religions, fears, languages, ideologies....I love yoga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but I don't do them as much as I'd like, not at all really. I love cooking, eating, drinking, smoking, tripping, traveling, dancing, reading, writing, moving, hiking. I love learning about anything and everything...learning how to appreciate tastes, sounds, art, photography. Exploring and experiencing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music and watch movies to feel some sort of emotion: electronic or classical, but also pop, rock and rap. It depends on my state of mind.

I love to read, mainly nonfiction - politics, religion, philosophy...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit a pretty stable 9-5 office job to travel seven years ago, and I haven't stopped.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you...umm, English? Card and drinking games...I can learn five words of your language and ask you to repeat it ten times throughout the night.
I can share a bottle of wine, a walk or a conversation.
