I'm just an average guy who struggles to be a decent man.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is a brilliant way of meeting new people all around the world!

Interests

I love music, literature and cinema. Hanging out. Talking about life. Philosophizing, there's nothing I enjoy more! I write poetry, who knows if I'll be able to publish something someday!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I slept two nights in one of those claustrophobic capsules of Japanese hotels in Tokyo.
I slept in a parking lot with 4 other people, because we did not want to pay 10 goddamn euro for a hostal in Saint Patrick's Day in Dublin.
I slept outdoors in a god-knows-where ground in Northern Iceland.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
we ourselves flash and yearn,
and moreover my mother told me as a boy
(repeatingly) ‘Ever to confess you’re bored
means you have no
