I never know what to say on here, I feel like anything I tell you about myself comes with a bias of sorts, so I'd rather you draw your own conclusions about me if and when we meet.

I try not to judge others.. Key word: Empathy. ENFJ according to Myer Briggs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and get to know people that I may have otherwise never had the chance to do so, all the while adding new meaning to the phrase : Mi casa su casa !

July 2015 - I've noticed that some of you get swamped with a bunch of request, many of which are generic cntrl+c cntrl+v type last minute request. I want to strive to not fall into that trap of being a taker without giving back.
