About Me

I enjoy the concept of the bohemian lifestyle, having random encounters with new people and exchanging ideas. I hope to offer my curiosity and conversation, my knowledge of literature, philosophy and anthropology and my enthusiasm for most topics you may care to talk about.

I'm currently living in Tunis, attempting to build a life as a person who writes beautiful things, and one who gives beautiful things to others. Also, this life would like to include saving the world within the anthropocene and building more friendly, loving and respectful ways of interacting zith the world and those around us.

I studied quite a few things, mainly in literature and anthropology, and write a lot of stories around freedom of movement and the natural world. These days I find it more and more difficult to have specific opinions, though that doesn't mean that there aren't still countless things to talk about!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stolen (/saved) two hamsters and a fish from an animal market in Kunming, China.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have knowledge of languages to share, as well as pretty developped knowledge of philosophical traditions and thoughts. Other than that, I have far less concrete things to offer, such as a relatively interesting life philosophy and manner of living (which is perpetually developing, I think).
