I have an open mind and I am always up for adventure. I like to experience new places and learn how place and language shape a culture's beliefs and inter-personal relations. I don't require a solid plan. I am comfortable with being flexible and seeing where the currents takes me. I am intuitive and sensitive, not good at small talk, but I flourish in discussions that relate the personal to the political.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people who are made of the same substance as the places I visit and who know how to tap into the pulse of a city or region.
To provide the same sense of place to travelers who come to my corner of the globe.
