ABOUT MO

I would like to believe that it gets better. I am a firm advocate of learning and believe that the best lessons aren't necessarily found in a book or in classroom.

I want to broaden my horizons.
I want to be less prejudiced.

PHILOSOPHY

Try anything once. Say no to addiction. Once in a bit is a party hit!

Keep on learning, be more accepting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like-minded people, willing to while the hours away with a non/alcoholic drink, swapping good stories or learning something new.

If you have a recipe from your homeland, please, by all means!

Interests

Discovering new music, new places, those hole-in-the-walls.

Art, literature and everything that comes between.

Oceans, animals and conservancy.

Traveling and educating.
