About Me

CURRENT MISSION

not being a missionary

ABOUT ME

I'm just trying to be nice and sincere, and I think I mostly am. But feel free to prove me... right. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I studied a bit of philosophy, so I'm supposed to know... But how can I know that I actually know anything in the first place..? You see, it ain't easy.

But probably Neo-Aristotelian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf and host and tend to combine this with "having a coffee or drink". I won't host you if I don't find the time to hang out at least for a while.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All good so far, most even better than good

Interests

Matching my college majors well, I'm pretty interested in the economy and politics, but also in more relaxing stuff like movies, running, cycling, going out, having a beer... And I just like good talks where you can take matters seriously and still have good laughs. Then it dosn't matter what it's about.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read so little fiction. Though lately I enjoyed The Cellist of Sarajevo, The Picture of Dorian Gray, but also funnier stuff. Movies: Coen Brothers, Aki Kaurismäki, Jim Jarmusch are great directors. And I'll listen to a lot of stuff ranging from Soul to Electro to even some Rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the aerial view of St Lawrence Stream (Canada) in winter was pretty impressive

Teach, Learn, Share

It doesn't matter what or how, but I mostly learned a lot from whoever I met through Couchsurfing, cause you guys are mostly pretty smart and curious.

Countries I’ve Visited
