Hey !

My name is Daniel. I'm a marketing student.

My friends would describe me as an outgoing person who is passionate with everything culture related , reliable, funny and honest.

In all honesty I'm interested in knowing the world for what it is and not for what it seems. Truth is sacred to me.
I come from a multicultural family and they always instilled in me that all cultures are as important as valid as mine. Difference is a good thing and not the contrary.
Culture always been a big part of my life and I can't recall my life without it.
I'm so interested in hearing your own stories and struggles because I feel like I've learned something valuable and unique.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? Tbh
It's an opportunity to get to know locals that you wouldn't meet otherwise . Also is an effective way of fighting gentr*fication!
One of the greatest joys you can have in life is to learn from others and their culture .

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:

I'd say my taste is rather ecletic . By this I mean my taste ranges from Tchaikovsky to Rina Sawayama. I have a soft spot for jazz , blues and soul!
Feel free to share your favorite artists with me !

Movies:

I don't have favorite movies because it's so hard for me to choose from all the wonderful ones I had the chance to watch. Nonetheless I can say that my favourites filmmakers are Ingmar Bergman and Andrei Tarkvosky ( AAAHH I JUST LOVE THEIR MOVIES)

Suggestions/Recomendations: Sacrifice , Stalker , Mirror , Andrei Rublev, Autumn Sonata , Hour of the Wolf , Personna , Wild Strawberries and Summer with Monika .

Books:

I have to say that only last year I started to read more. Reading is such an immersive experience and ask myself how could I've gone so many years without reading more than one book per year.
My favourite novelist is Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
One of my favourite poets is Fernando Pessoa. Pessoa's poetry if it had to be described in one word it would be life-changing.

Time feels so limited when you think of all the books/movies/albums you wanna read/watch/listen!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm doing erasmus right now so I guess that counts!^-^

"Sharing is caring"f is one of my motto's in life and by that I mean that caring is one of the greatest actions you can have towards another person!
I love sharing my knowledge with others !
