CURRENT MISSION

To imagine Sisyphus being happy

ABOUT ME

At heart, I am an eternal student always seeking to learn. I am opiniated and passionate about politics, language, and the arts. I love to learn about new subjects, different positions, and meet new people. I am very flexible and like a wide range of activites. I can go out and party or chill at home and chat. I read a lot, love watching movies, enjoy tv, adore cycling, hiking, and wandering. At the moment my chief priority is to continue my education but try to live a little as well.

PHILOSOPHY

All I know is that I know nothing. I try my best not to assume and to explore any subject matter. Life is a series of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, every moment unique from the rest. I try to appreciate what makes everything and anything unique. As a traveller I appreciate harmony and respect differences in the name of peace. I am guest of the world and act accordingly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently travelling on my youthful odyssey and hoping to encounter welcoming and warm hosts. I recommend the CS project to everyone I meet and try to enlist as many hosts as possible. Once I am establiched I am sure to be a host. But for the moment I spread the good word and enjoy the generosity of the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The verification process was greatly reassuring.
