Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as often as I can but it has been a bit scarce lately due to a lot of travelling and moving around.

When I surf couches I try to help out with cooking, baking, walking dogs - unameit

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed with

-Moni in Sofya, Bulgaria amazing guy and place. We went hiking in the mountains, walked through all the historic places, sharing stories for hours on hours.

Met up with

-Yahya in Aleppo for talks about everything and nothing. He guided me through the maze of Old City Aleppo and showed me the margins and essences of Syrian culture.
-Nori in Belgrade, Serbia for a night of drinking and dancing in the vampire basement of University of Belgrade. Scarylicious!

Interests

Reading, listening to art, writing, discussing, travelling. I appreciate the people who without knowing it learn me something I did not know I needed to know. E.g. people who embrace uncertain and just go do stuff.

I'm a baking aficionado. I love baking Scandinavian-type dark bread and Italian-style ciabatta bread.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The hospitality of a village family in Syria. God bless them (theirs or mine, makes no difference).

That sunrise in that Montenegro-valley where sunlight chased away the shadows as if it was a matter of life and death (and it probably was).
