Greek/Jewish ENFP space cadet scouring the world for inspiration one dead houseplant at a time. Fueled by a constant awe of nature, genuine human interactions, and Craigslist missed connections. Full of creativity & farts. Escapist. Ink on my arms and in my passport. Smile a lot in person :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I strongly believe that your experience in any place at all is shaped by who you interact with, who you meet, what social circles you fall into. There’s no such thing as a ‘cool’ or ‘shitty’ place, places are just blank space, it’s what (who) fills them that makes it unique, and no matter what type of human you are you’re one great connection away from finding meaning in the place you currently inhabit. SO, couchsurfing is an incredible way to catalyze that. My travels in life have been exponentially enhanced by the fly folks I’ve met along the way, be they locals or fellow travelers.

And same goes for hosting - having lived in one place for almost 10 years I have found a multitude of inspiration here, and I take great pleasure in showing others the facets of my home base that bring me joy.
