Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the people who make places what they are. And who shape each other into what we become.

From back when I first surfed Bastien's couch in Paris in 2008, there have been weeks of indefinite domicile in Portugal and Spain, a family farm house in Serbia, Jersey boys and Texas pals in NYC, great hosts, surfers and people I've met along the road..

Interests

• backpacking

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music best when live and acoustic, and/or scratchy and loud. Preferably, with content. On the 'classics' shelf: Catcher in the Rye; Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got mugged, beaten up, and left with almost nothing on me while backpacking in Spain, and oh I'm glad it happened. Taught me lots about life.

Teach, Learn, Share

All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop. /Kabir/

What I Can Share with Hosts

International and intercultural musings based on previous experience. Social activism and random personal adventures. I love stories that have been lived and continue to provide lessons to be learnt.
