About Me

I'm generally open and curious and attracted to strange things. I may appear a bit vague maybe at times when I travel but I'm never insensitive to situations. I like to meet people by chance or by little planning, to move on from place to place like changing topics in abstract philosophical conversations, with humour and banal poignancy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to meet people under these conditions: an open exchange of hospitality, curious and trusting.
