About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living life passionately; Making something relevant for a better world; To become a professional vagabond :-)

ABOUT ME

I'm 34, entrepreneur (startup), computer scientist.
Sexual orientation: straight.
Political view: liberal.
I'm very easy going.
I practice brazilian jiu-jitsu since a few months and I used to be a very good basketball player, guard position.
I like to network and would love to make some new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe individual freedom is the most important thing off all, and try to respect and protect that above all else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I like pubs better than clubs.
I like cultural programs (museums, theatre, music, books...). I enjoy writing some poetry of my own.
Addicted to movies.
I like adventure sports.
Mettalica, Megadeth and Pantera; but also Eric Clapton, Imagine Dragons, Jack Johnson and Amos Lee...
I enjoy chatting, logic puzzles, debates in a bar about solving all the problems of the world...
...But I'm not that a nerd as it seems.
