Why I'm on Couchsurfing
My roommate says I belong on the streets (half-jokingly I suppose). I say I belong wherever I can find find open arms, warmth, laughter, maybe even tears, and an interesting conversation. Most importantly though; openness. From my experience, homes that welcome travelers are exactly the places where I can find that. If I can find that on the streets, that's great as well; I've met some lovely people that way.
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: The list is long, as I really enjoy reading. I'm very saddened about the fact that I don't have as much time anymore to discover many other books to add to that list. However, there are two which have, for some reason, touched me on a deeper level than the rest. They made me cry and made me feel peaceful at the same time. The Old Man and the Sea - Hemingway Vol de nuit - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Movies: Many. On the top of my head The Deer Hunter Interstellar The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly The Lord of the Rings trilogy (huge fan. huge) In Bruges etc. Music: That's too difficult a list to make
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Couchsurfed for a month in different neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires, and met some lovely people and good friends and found there is no better way to discover a city than get a feeling of its neighbourhoods and its people. I love discovering cities this way.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I don't have much to share except myself. My experiences, maybe, but I think they're quite humble, even though I love them and am very grateful for them. What I love sharing with people is new ideas, and a sense of excitement for the world around. I love bouncing off ideas in a conversation, and see where they take us, and see what we can learn from each other. Also, I love laughing (one of my favourite activities), so I can promise a lot of that!
My Interests
