About Me

IMPORTANT UPDATE: i'll be in India/Nepal in July, if you are here too, don't hesitate to contact me

CURRENT MISSION
Bring Love and Peace

ABOUT ME
I think this section is better left for others to fill in but if I had to describe myself I would say I consider myself to be an easy-going and thoughtful. I like to explore myself and the world around. I'm a good story-teller, but I prefer to listen to others. So the only thing I ask you to bring in my home is a couple of good stories! I have always been drawn to sports that are called “extreme”: skydiving, snowboarding, mountain biking, etc... I'm also tall so hopefully I'll fit on a couch :) and, anyhow I'm the curious one, you should show me your world.

PHILOSOPHY
Anything that has no physical or mental harm to another beings is GO.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So, i'm totally new here and have no CS experience so far. I joined CS on my friend's advice and found the concept of the site very interesting. For me, CS is not free AirBnB, but it's more about a shared worldview, about being a part of community, about discovering cultures, ideas, languages. It's also about learning what makes you who you are and what makes other people who they are, for finding out how similar you can be underneath superficialities like skin color, culture, religion, and language. I'm on here because I want to meet more people who believe in that.
