How to appear not too awkard, nor typical, nor self-centered... I'm a bit awkward, not so typical and moderately self-centered. I'm practicing experiencing without expecting, finding without judging, loving without fear. I like moving to places more than travelling to them. I love languages, dogs, visual arts, doing things slowly, documentaries, a temperature of 19°, video-editing and lots of kinds of music.

I have a cautious nature, quite easy-going, definitely easily interested. Meditation is my pause-button and salsa my lose-myself-button.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because connection is indeed the most beautiful thing about travelling.

I melt with Bossa Nova and lots of other Brazilian music
I droole with Devendra Banhart, Ibrahim Ferrer, Orchestra Baobab
