I used to be an engineer but that was a long time ago, nowadays I just sit around and write stuff. I love to read, I like to travel, and I think cows are the cutest animals on the planet. I also love manga, the smell after it rains, and the colour purple.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is the best place to meet new people, experience new cultures, and make loads of new friends.

Apart from that, I think the best way of experiencing new culture is to do exactly what the locals do.

Interests

I love to read, to watch tawdry ninja movies, and travelling by myself.
