Overview
About Me
Well I'm the worst at describing myself, but I'll give it a go! Most of what I do is art related, from painting to writing to composing to working for a movie production company. Not the biggest fan of casual conversations, at least casual topics, anything that doesn't make me think annoys me a little.
I'm also Majoring in Art History at Uni, writing a philosophy essay and composing an album with the priority set to the latter. I like good books, spending time with my beloved and doing things I've never done before, with both friends and strangers that later become friends.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My father was the first to introduce me to this website, as a teenager I overlooked it and now I'm realizing it's potencial. I started to think about all the possibilities that I've missed or could be missing of having life changing experiences with people. And I reckon, if a person is kind enough to let themselves be vulnerable for a stranger in their house, they can't be bad people! They must be giving and kind, traits of personality I enforce every day.
The worlds within this world are infinite, and although I'm aware that I won't be able to see them all, that doesn't stop me from seeing the one I can!
In sum, I'm here to meet people, make friends, go on adventures, experience new things, make and play music with others, and to be a little closer to seeing the world as it is, one puzzle piece at a time

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Beyond swimming with sharks in Belize when I was 9 years old and the only question I asked before getting into the water to the shark keeper was "Do they bite?" and he said "No", giving me the urge to jump in right away, like I did, the anything close to that was performing a gig for around 600 people. I was more afraid of them than the sharks honestly
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm simply looking for visiting places and to be with people that can tell me the nicks and corners of their hometown. I've learned that without people with similar tastes as mine, I'll be stuck in a tour book and miss out on the experience of being enveloped by a culture different from my own, with people that, who knows, might change my life. You can never know right? Until you do it.
In a more formal matter, any host can expect from me the upmost respect and consideration for traditions may they be cultural or religious.
And as a bonus I love to cook! So expect that at least once I'll cook for everyone around, something I do with the absolute most pleasure.
