Dear Stranger, I invite you - other than to of course, be hosted by me or to host me - to firstly, imagine me, as you read this verse from a song in Pocahontas:

You think the only people who are people

Are the people who look and think like you

But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger

You learn things you never knew, you never knew

Now you are aware of my Xenophilia, via lyrics from a Disney movie! Isn’t that lovely? My love for strange things and strangers, coincides with, and is only rivalled, by my love for books and travelling. I enjoy recommendations of books that others love; maybe the next book I read will be one that you suggest.

Other than books, I don’t care much for possessions, in fact, I genuinely don’t care about a lot of things that are usually deemed worthy of care. So, if by any chance, I seem interesting to you, and you - interesting to me, I very much look forward meeting you, and your thoughts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It offers the very rewarding experience of getting to know a place, a city, or a landscape, through the eyes of a native.

Interests

Dancing when there´s no music, reading when the moon has risen, talking to open-minded people, partying and going to the opera afterwards.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most symbolic things I have ever done for myself, is the time I decided to burn 1400 euros, in cash. This was all the money I had at the time and my actions reflected my determination to let go of that which was holding me back.
