About Me

Learning and exploring the world around me, every day. I have broad interests and I love discovering new things to do, learn and practice. Every new day is a challenge to improve and discover myself more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our world is a curious place and I love discovering it through the humans that inhabit it. I want to get to know different world views and share my own too.

Interests

Languages fascinate me. I have been living in Spain and learning Spanish for the last two years, and am now learning Italian to possibly move to Italy for a period. I like practicing my languages and am happy to help others with theirs.
I am very interested in social change, especially around animal rights. I have been working on my own project for the last year, interviewing animal rights activists from all over the world. My goal is to build a successful platform that can help make our world a more peaceful place.
I like to get in touch with myself through meditation. I usually use my breathing as a guide, but also like to use a method called socratic meditation (a type of meditation to understand yourself better).
I like singing and would love to get better at it (I kinda suck at it right now.)
I love reading poems out loud and record myself.
I am very interested in the dream world. I am trying to learn how to become lucid and take control of my dreams.
I like all kinds of learning, some of my topics of interest are: psychology, social change, history, politics, self-help, meditation, dreams etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I've seen a tram conductor go out of the conductors cabin into the street for a second, realize that the door was closed behind him and he forgot his keys inside. So he did the most reasonable thing; he got back in the cabin by crawling through the very tiny window on the other side.

I am aware this doesn't sound incredibly interesting or funny, but seeing it happen in real time, his frustration and sudden decisiveness made it all the more comical to watch. He had everyone in the front coach crying out of laughter for a solid five minutes.
