About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be hungry, be curious, and have fun!

ABOUT ME

Hi there! I am a freelance consultant and lucky enough to travel often across Europe. I love sports, movies, music, technology, socializing and travels, definitely!

Oh...and I easily get bored in hotels.

PHILOSOPHY

"Listen, smile, be curious and be kind to yourself."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host more than I surf. I rarely need a couch when I am abroad, mostly due to the "work factor" but I always try to get in touch with local CSers whereever I go.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time was in Paris at a very good "digital" friend of mine. I had a wonderful experience and I just didn't know there was an actual name for that. My first official "couchsurfing" happened in Montreal and it convinced me to open my own doors to other people.

Interests

sports, movies, mountain-bike/cycling, tv series, architecture, history, psychology, technology, web, blogs, writing, traveling, jumping from planes or bungies, scuba diving, thinking about doing one of these things I haven't done yet...

Music, Movies, and Books

I never remember the names of the artists I listen to.
I read or watch whatever comes under my nose.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got into lots of situations that felt amazing to me but I suspect you wouldn't consider amazing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

My work keeps me close to topics such as data privacy, Internet security and citizen digital rights. You might be interested in asking questions about what you read in the news regarding those topics. I am also very good at crashing and burning whatever I try to cook. This might also trigger your curiosity!
