About Me

I studied Philosophy and I'm still very interested in making sense of the world and human society. Literature is no doubt my greatest interest, I love to read and write as well. The latter is more of a love/hate thing but for sure it's an important part of who I am.

If you would meet me I will usually be friendly, talkative in a quiet way and interested in your stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of allowing people to meet and share houses while traveling. It provides an interesting journey, as well as a generally social and charitable way of living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I did the dishes at 3am.

Also, I wrote a small book of about 100 pages and a whole bunch of poetry.

I also practice fencing. Even though I used to train a lot more than I do now, I'm still pretty good at it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think learning is cool.
