About Me

Currently trying to find myself within pages of old books and in the glance of strangers. Traveler-to-be and charmed by the world, which makes me a social butterfly of some kind. Awfully ambitious and a dreamer, too. I think I currently am an exaggeration of myself but I am trying to find the perfect medium. Different perspectives are a dangerous aphrodisiac of some sort, the best kind of ambrosia. Would love to meet more people, share experiences, ideas as well as ideals.

'I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. I want this adventure that is the context of my life to go on without end.'
- Simone de Beauvoir

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To host and be hosted. I did not even know of Couchsurfing until a friend of mine mentioned it to me. I would love to travel the world in the near future, so I am sure it would come in handy. However, I would love to host you as well or meet you and have a cuppa with you, show you around and generally be of help at the best of my abilities!

Interests

- Since a young age I pledged my loyalty to the arms of Literature. It has played a big part in my life and I would like to think that it would accompany me for the rest of my days.

- Seeing from different perspectives. To be willing to share your views with me and your experiences would be one of the best gifts one could give me.

- Learning. I suck at Maths and Physics but perhaps, this is why those subjects are so fascinating to me. What is unknown possesses a certain charm.

- Philosophy. All the philosophers are nutcases. Perhaps, that's why they are so interesting. It gives me a headache but the next day, I feel reborn. I guess, it is like exercising. At first it hurts but eventually, you build muscles and grow stronger.

- Psychology, Sociology, Biology, etc.: Subjects that I have just started exploring.
