About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a Cereal Killer and I'm looking for wilful candidates to eat cereal with. Besides that, being a local, I take much pride in presenting people the background of the city and some of what it has to offer.

ABOUT ME

Oh my, an whole blank field to describe myself in detail.
Better leave it at that.

PHILOSOPHY

"Nobody panics when things go "according to plan", even if the plan is horrifying."
The Joker

"- Still, always have one or two backup ones up your sleeve and a robust health insurance."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well this is more a declaration of intents,of a sorts. Besides what I've previously said about wanting to show the city I was born and bred in the only other thing that I wish is to be able to add to a nice experience and be able to enjoy myself as well. I do wish to be able to say the same if I ever depend upon couchsurfing to get my bearings abroad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have first contacted couchsurfing as a Local Officer on Research Exchange on my faculty's local students chapter of IFMSA. I had the incredible experience of contacting with people of all ages and different backgrounds and always meant to join eventually. I am doing so now and do hope that my previous experience doing something as being the main responsible for students abroad (yes and I also mean fun) brings something useful to the program.

Interests

That's an hard one. I do have many and sincerely one of the greatest joys for me is knowing that whatever I do, for as long as I do it, there will be always something else,some other interest and that I will never have to deal with the knowledge that there's nothing left to be done and enjoyed. You can find for yourself my interests and - who knows - even show me others I was unware of.

  • arts
  • politics
  • business
  • history
  • medicine

Music, Movies, and Books

Space movies - yeah, you should meet my alter ego.

I also truly enjoy reading, so I'll just had a bunch that either I rather enjoy or truly value:
- The Great War for Civilization (Robert Fisk)
- Limit (Frank Schätzing)
- The Eagle Series (Simon Scarrow)
- The Lord of the Rings (J. R. R. Tolkien)

In terms of music tendencies it's a far easier pick:
- The Scorpions
- Pink Martini
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Rodrigo Leão

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That's none of your business :).

Teach, Learn, Share

I've already mentioned interests towards history and politics, besides art and even my personal experience hosting people. The only thing missing would be my academic experience and that would be Medicine. So feel free to converse about any of the subjects (or any others)with me. I'll jump at the oportunity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully, a good time.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Scotland, Spain, Sweden
