About Me

I'm ADFM, queer and there are a bunch of things I hold dear.
I still want to finish my bachelors in Biology. I would like to be a scientific communicator, but also a skateboarder, and a Shaolin Martial Artist. I'm still getting to work properly on the last two.
I am also quite the geek™ . Think Lisbeth Salander but sans body-mod (yet) and less traumatized.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world and I still find it hard to make due with scarce sources of income on this day and age. I want to met all sorts of people.

Interests

“There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.” G.K. Chesterton

A list though:
music (in general but maybe most jazz and various contemporary music genres),
science,
communication,
philosophy,
photography,
cooking (plant-based dietary guidelines here),
yoga (kundalini) and martial arts,
art (anything really, but street art, scientific illustration, realism, surrealist art)
and travelling, of course.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught people some music, particularly how to play classic guitar reasonably well, by hear.

Teach, Learn, Share

LEARN ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE

SHARE: Experiences, livelihood stories, FOOD, music suggestions and pleasant company.

What I Can Share with Hosts
