Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The phrase 'couch surfing' is reason enough to try it out! And more seriously, staying over in the homes of people that live in what is to you, a new city, adds a whole new dimension to traveling

Interests

In no particular order - Combining words and drawings (comics), a good stretch (yoga), satisfied belly (snacking and cooking with friends), discovering totally new perspectives (reading), listening to all kinds of sounds and experimenting with the tabla and percussion (music), not letting those in power cross the line (politics)
