About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

I'm all over the place really. I have many different interests and I constantly contradict myself. (You could say, I like giving myself challenges.)
I love to learn and meet people.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life with eyes and ears open. Everything is open to debate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I'm not in a great position to host, but I'm open to hanging out.

I enjoy meeting new people and conversation.

When I was in Australia traveling with family, we were going from one scenic place to another, which was nice and all, but one day they planned an overnight trip to another scenic area and I had no desire to go. I was tired of it. I decided to opt out and spend some time with other couchsurfers. I don't need to travel for places only, I need to travel for people as well. Some of the best experiences I've had were with couchsurfers. You guys are amazing!

Interests

Board games, social science, science fiction, reading (mostly bios and some fiction and non fictions), music (including but not limited to pretty much anything that has "rock" as a suffix), volunteering (sure, it's a hobby).

  • board games
  • folk music
  • rock music
  • blues
  • boxing
  • anthropology
  • volunteering
  • muay thai

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once worked as a volunteer coordinator for a small NGO in an event with a big brewery (we ran a midway with games played by drunk people). It was a crazy night but everyone had fun and we raised a lot of money for the NGO. It felt really good to do work like that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play a board game.
I'm willing to learn pretty much anything.
I might share my food. (Trust me, that's a pretty big deal.)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not super talented with stuff, like juggling or playing an instrument, but I am more than willing to help clean or cook, and I'll probably share a few bad jokes.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
