PHILOSOPHY

"The desire to discover, the urge to move, to capture the flavour, three concepts that describe the art of photography."
Helmut Newton

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have not had the opportunity to host or surf, but am looking forward to doing so as soon as I can.

Interests

Too many things to list! But perhaps, as a summary, I would first mention art, I love photography, film, listening to music, going to museums...as far as activities go, I love windsurfing and skateboarding, but don't get to do them often enough!
