ABOUT ME

I have never really identified with just one culture. I think there's a little piece of me in every place I go to, and I feel like the more cultures I get to know, the more I learn about myself.

I don't like staying in one place for too long. I have a need to try all the food in the world (except maybe cockroaches). I love animals, trees, rivers and mountains. I like connecting with people on a deeper level, rather than making small talk. I don't like crowds and I don't like waiting. I spend every day trying to understand... everything.

PHILOSOPHY

"It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed." Albert Einstein

"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive." Albert Einstein

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." Albert Einstein

"To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a trim sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word- is that not glorious? It is not a proper subject for congratulation?" Albert Einstein

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only had great experiences on CouchSurfing. I've hosted people form every continent and CouchSurfed a few times. I'm sharing an apartment now with someone that doesnt like the idea of having strangers in our apartment, so unfortunately I'm not able to host at the moment :/

Interests

I could live my whole life just traveling the world.

Also: Music, films, books, languages, food, art, psychology, spirituality, meditation, and life itself.

I'm also interested in figuring out a way to not have to work anymore.
