About Me

Self-actualising as you read this ;) Interested in visual arts, philosophy, literature, counterculture(s), music, dance, psychonautics/entheogeny, politics, social activism, architecture, in no particular order.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CS since 2006 because it combines some of my favourite activities: travelling, hosting, and meeting and helping people.

Now, on a more factual level: I love spending quality time together, sharing experiences, and mutually expanding worldviews. But I know sometimes we (either as guests or hosts) don't have that availability. So I am not avert to simply offering you a place to stay; I strongly believe in helping each other just for the sake of it. I appreciate some CS members frown upon guests who can't spend time with their hosts, and vice-versa. That is not my case, as I normally (unfortunately) don't have a lot of spare time...
