About Me

Occasional journalist. Full time wanderer. Soul always at its lightest on the road. Easiest to breathe when my whole life is in one bag. Always looking for a new direction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I'm here more because of the chance to meet new people and especially meet up with locals rather than lodging. Although a couch to sleep on every once in a while is always nice :)

Interests

Salsa dancing
Rumba flamenco on the guitar (and guitar playing more broadly also)
Journalism
Documentaries
Writing
Photographing
Skateboarding (mostly cruising tho)
