CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out the meaning of life. Or at the very least what I want to do with mine

ABOUT ME

Immigrated to Canada a couple of years ago from Switzerland. I like playing capoeira (afro-brazilian dance), climbing trees and am interested in all forms of movement. Cooking and eating are also important for me.

PHILOSOPHY

All that glitters is not gold and all that wanders is not lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

How I participate ?!? Well, I do the dishes and I like to cook too. I also enjoy listening to people's stories and trying to understand their lives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hitch-hiked a bit in the past and had the privilege of being taken in by lots kind people. Similarly, I've housed a few random travelers over the years in different countries where I lived (Brazil, Switzerland, the US, or Canada).

Interests

Music- Philip Glass right now. Otherwise, reggae, blues, traditional African music.

Activities- Capoeira, climbing trees, walking around (wandering in cities, forests, along highways, and through fields). Sailing. Learning new languages. I am also professionally interested in Disasters in Southeast Asia. Not causing them, but studying the ones due to natural hazards.
