About Me

I love learning a lot of trivial and useless things (particularly in history, geography, and sports) and that really makes for interesting conversations. I have an eclectic range of interests so I'm sure we'll find something in common to talk about. I love travelling and I wish I could do it more. When I travel, I don't just want to see places. Sure, places are a must, but I discovered that the beauty of travelling is in the people you meet along the way. Getting to know their cultures, what they do on weekends, where they go to eat, what the lifestyle is, and even the language they speak is what makes travelling worth it.

I urge you to discover not just the beauty in places but also the light in the people who live there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives me an opportunity to see places from the lens of the people who live there. I had the pleasure of getting hosted in Paris and getting toured by a local in Florence. These parts of my trip were the ones I enjoyed the most because I got to experience what the normal life is in these places -- and normal for them is extraordinary for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched the Paralympics in Paris in 2024 and it is one of the best experiences of my life. I have always been a big fan of the Olympics so going there in the middle of the action and seeing iconic venues in real life such as the Court Philippe Chatrier is now part of my core memory.
