CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love painting, bike riding, reading, learning, swimming and dancing. I have hitch-hiked from Spain to Sweden and am currently preparing to live in Barcelona for 4 months. I love couchsurfing and the opportunities it creates to meet new people and make new friends, but am in no way seeking to use it as a dating service. If

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that humans are generally loving and compassionate and that the cruelty we inflict upon others comes from the desire to love being frustrated and distorted. At our core, we want nothing more to love and be loved.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love couchsurfing and the opportunities it creates to meet new people and make new friends, but am in no way seeking to use it as a dating service. If this is your intention kindly reject my couch requests.
I was a squatter in Europe and have made extensive use of other peoples homes as a source of lodging. Hosting in my way of paying that back. I also love surfing and the chance to make friends with people I might never get to meet otherwise.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met amazing people as a couch surfer and as a host. It has been a great way to connect with people I would never meet otherwise and experience being generous with strangers.

兴趣

I'm generally interested in life. Anything that someone is passionate about and can share with me is guaranteed to at least momentarily spark my interest.

教，学，和分享

As a couchsurfer,squatter and host i've learned that everyone loves the dishwasher. So, wash your hosts dishes. You will almost always create deeper respect.

Less practically, I can spin fire, paint, and cork a wine bottle while riding a bike. I am happy to instruct you in any of these things.
