The reason I decided to pursue a career as an architectural and landscape historian was that I can travel a lot (although mostly in the US). It is not until very recently that I found out one can be any professions in order to do that. Well, I guess mixing up work and play is my issue.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is abundant if we open up our minds, starting with our houses or apartments. (But socialism works only if you do your own dishes.)
