About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and let Live

ABOUT ME

Currently trying to graduate from university which is an annoying thing to do. I am pretty passionate about international affairs and challenges faced by humanity in the years ahead hence my affinity with renewable energy. Love to read and am a rational guy with an aversion to every form of mind control. Still in the process of finding out how I would like to contribute to society. Love to be surrounded by people and take care of my guests. I'm trying to diversify my social context because it broadens the mind and keeps dogmatism at bay.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to learn about the human condition and explore the whole spectrum of the human experience. What can I say: we are fascinating creatures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to help out whenever I can. It's kind of addicting to invite strangers into your home. There's always that excitement of not knowing who you're gonna meet. Just love it. Helped me to appreciate my own live and city in all sorts of ways.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just started hosting because I moved to a bigger place. Got an amazing view and couldn't wait to share it with other people. Trying to create a network of friends for my future travels. Will spend the summer in Amsterdam inviting the world to come over to my place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a 8000 miles coast to coast roadtrip through the United States and Canada. Campin in State and National parcs was unbelievable. The untamed wilderness and endless landscapes were something completely alien to a city dweller like myself.
