CURRENT MISSION

To know the world

ABOUT ME

I love reading and studying, especially about history, economics, politics, and philosophy. If I have free time I prefer reading than anything else. I', trying to become more sociable, because I can learn a lot from people as well.
I like dealing with ideas; not too careful about small details of the material aspects of life. But I do care about my health and fitness.
I impose much discipline on myself but kind and lenient towards others. Responsibility and self-improvement are indispensable.
I probably appear stern at first sight, but once you get to know me, you will see that I have a soft heart full of humor (or so I hope).

PHILOSOPHY

This will be a long story. Let's meet and talk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couchsurfing when traveling in the U.S. and Latin America. I hope to surf more in Europe in the next few years.
I've been to a few CS get-togethers in various places. I always enjoy those because I meet very cultured, traveled and well-rounded people. Such encounters can be humbling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my experiences are from being hosted. I try to be as good of a guest as I can. So far I think I've been successful.
