CURRENT MISSION

Surviving the winter in Romania

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance journalist, photographer and designer based out of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I write about things I am interested in and I'm interested in things I write about. It doesn't pay the bills all that great, but I sleep well at night.

PHILOSOPHY

I used to be a Relativist, but that got boring. Now I am a Perspectivist, or maybe a Trancendental Perspectivist. I don't know yet; I'm still weighing my options.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I am really new and haven't had a chance to couch surf yet. I am open to the idea of hosting, but am most interested in meeting for coffee/drink and hearing about people's adventures and showing them Romania.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very little so far. It's all been vicarious through friends
