About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eventually be able to communicate effectively in Spanish.

ABOUT ME

I mold my life around perspectives. Going out of my way to stumble upon a new view, a new opinion, a new way of seeing things... there's nothing more enjoyable. Therefore, I consider it my duty - my privilege - to share what I find with those who have yet to discover its beauty.

I hope that I never lose the desire to travel, to explore, to learn, to love, to take the scenic route, or to capture memories through art. For to stop enjoying these things, in my opinion, would be to miss out on all life has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

"Rejoice, because you're trying your best."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've yet to delve fully into the CS community, as I am a new member, but am interested in the prospect of volunteering for/starting projects.

Interests

I love photography, old cameras, old anything. One of my favorite pastimes is wandering around antique stores, especially in different countries, and trying to picture the people who owned and used various objects & memories. I ride trains, rock climb, backpack, observe, explore and wonder. I hope that I'll never be able to answer the question "Where do you think you'll be in 5 years?"

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything that exudes passion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about photography as a whole, from TLR film cameras to DSLRs, from ASA to white balance, from Cokin filters to in-camera ones. If you're interested in learning about cameras, are buying a camera and don't know where to start, or have a broken camera and need some advice, shoot me a message. I can't promise anything, but I'll do my best to help you. I'm also knowledgeable when it comes to making websites, editing photos, graphic design and typography. I would love to learn how to play the piano, how to speak Spanish, German and Danish, and how to weld.
