I like to have in-depth conversations about anything. Life is too short for small talk. We have minds that we're meant to use!

I love learning from others' experiences. Different points of view are fascinating to me, especially about issues that concern us all.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to look at the big picture of life. Enjoy it - don't take it too seriously, but don't lose sight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thus far, I have met up with people at CS events in my area, and I've surfed a few times with CS in the US. I have to say that the people are all fantastic and open! :)

Interests

If you have a different native tongue than I do please let me know what your animal onomatopoeias are! (In English dogs say 'Woof' or 'Bark' - what do your dogs say?)

Art! I love how the arts play out in a community and what it does for the culture. I love art museums - containing great works of art can explain so much about the past and about humans.

Trying new foods is lots of fun, for me! I was raised with a "try it once" attitude that I keep up to this day!
