CURRENT MISSION

Opening up the doors of perception

ABOUT ME

I consider myself an open-minded, friendly and easy-going person. I can be a bit weird at times, having silly and funny thoughts but at other times, I can be serious and thoughtful, too. I try to take life as it comes, knowing (or at least assuming) that after all there's no inherent sense in what we do - so I just try to be a good human beeing and do the best I can with my time on earth!

PHILOSOPHY

Live every life like it was your last.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm thinking about becoming a volunteer translator to help the project grow. Depends on the time for my studies, though. Besides that, I'm travelling and surfing as much as I can and of course I'm welcoming anyone who wants to surf my couch.

Interests

Literature, art, philosophy, sciences, photography, film, making and listening to music, football, travelling around, seeing and learning about the world and -of course- about the people in it.

I'd love to learn how to play the violin; I want to improve my chess skills; I want to re-gain my piano skills; I want to know almost everything I can get my hands on; I want to be a writer one day.
