About Me

Most of all, I like stories.
The story I've never heard. The one where anything is true and anything can happen. When I visit or host through this page, I meet all these people with spec-ta-cular stories. I don't think there's anything more exciting than that.

Besides this, I like adventures, also the small ones. The ones that make you say: wonder how that tree would look from atop that roof. But also the big ones, of course, the ones that take you to the edge of the world, the unexpected life-changing ones.

I'm a med student, but I'm nothing like the ones you see on TV. (Maybe on "Scrubs".)

(I also consider myself somewhat an exile New Orleanian. If you by any chance are from New Orleans, you'll be my guest of honour.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The spectacular stories...

Interests

Well, I'm an introvert with social skills. I like to read and write and pop pictures, and develop said pictures in a darkroom down the road. Since I live in a city, I love the countryside and everything that means.
Oh, and second hand shops. I LOVE second hand shops.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a lot of film. I mean a lot-a lot. But don't be fooled, I get equally excited by a new tarantino film as a bad zombie b-movie. I just love to watch.

Music wise I like jazz, old times'-pop/rock and indie pop. Basically. I do love to spin old vinyl records and I spend way too much money on buying them. I know it's corny - it's a weak spot.

Books... well, you'll have to check out my shelves yourself! Home is where my books are. Murakami is my favourite, I think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking Imbabura, a volcano in northern Ecuador. That was pretty amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

My photographic skills are limited but enthustiatic. I develop the old-type way, the pushing-chemicals-in-a-tray-way. It's only basic stuff I'm afraid, but it's an art nevertheless.
