ABOUT ME

They say I'm an artsy nerd with a chlidlike smile.

PHILOSOPHY

A TEDx talk I gave about the culture of independent travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch, a backpack, and a thing for drawing maps.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So great it fuels my optimism about this world.

Visited 41 countries. Created this map here.

Interests

Long walks. Long reads. Railways. Frontiers. People with confused identities. Subjective cartographies. Internet worlds. Rich inner worlds. New languages. Things you make by yourself. Places you get lost in.

Teach, Learn, Share

Could teach you how to talk and be misunderstood in some weird languages: machine ones, visual ones, and Serbocroatian.

Would love to learn almost anything.
