I love life and I want to experience it as fully as I can. My heart is full of love and my mind full of thoughts.
I'm always down to meet new people, try new things, taste new food, and see the world in a new light. I'm obsessed with philosophy and languages; I speak four languages and have travelled to 9 different countries. I've lived in Canada and England, and I'm currently living in the United States as a Fulbright Fellow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels are lonesome and impersonal.

I don't just want to visit places; I want to feel them, and you can only do this by

There's so much more to see. I don't want to just visit places; I want to feel them and share experiences with like-minded people.

Interests

I'm a simple person who loves complicated ideas. On the surface, all I really need is books, coffee, good food, good beer, good wine, and good people — but I love having profound conversations, reading and writing about challenging ideas, and going out of my comfort zone. I am always reading, writing or talking about a topic I find interesting. I am a life-long student; I think we die when we stop learning.
