About Me

a confounding mélange of a charismatic rhetorical style, indomitable will, and eagerness to bend any fact to fit the purpose at hand

In fact, I can't even recall a time in my entire life when I was quiet for more than two seconds. When I'm not talking, I'm writing, and when I'm not writing, I'm singing, which is basically talking but fancier. I'm ALWAYS Oversharing. Most people toe the line of social acceptability, but if I'm being honest, I'm so far over the line that I can't even see it anymore. Someone once asked me what my darkest secret was and I realized that I don't have any. And not because I haven't done stupid things in my life, but because literally five seconds after I do anything, I broadcast it to anyone who will listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People have always intrigued me. Some people explore stars, history, the nature. I like to explore people: how they live, how they’re happy, what they see. There are stories all around us, and friends who become favourites, but I still crave the exotic. I want to meet a viking from Sweden, a girl who grew up in a garbage dump in India and a German man dressed in Bavarian trachten who dances in secret every day at 6 pm. In couchsurfing, I found a shortcut to meaningful time with strangers.

Interests

Sports Are The WORST. Especially endurance sports like swimming. That's two solid hours with my face dunked under water that I am physically unable to speak. It's so lonely down there. Everything you thought you knew from The Little Mermaid was a bold-faced lie.
I'm in the constant search of meaning through social interaction, media, real-life experiences, and books.

Teach, Learn, Share

The world is full of intricacies, individuals, similarities and difference. The more you meet, the more exceptions you’ll see.
