CURRENT MISSION

de-bunk stereotypes

ABOUT ME

I enjoy rugby, biking and being around the water just as much as I would like to sit and talk about poetry, human rights or the mysteries of the space time continuim.

About a year ago I graduated from college where I focused in creative writing and ancient studies. Now I am journeying around to let my mind breathe and grow in a completely different way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used Couchsurfing about two and a half years ago while traveling through Eastern and Southern Italy with a roommate. It was a great experience. I haven't hosted anybody as of yet, but hope to.

Myth is the hidden part of every story, the buried part, the region that is still unexplored because there are as yet no words to enable us to get there. Myth is nourished by silence as well as by words.”
