Overview
About Me
An avid time traveler!
A man of myriad passions, with a particular fondness for the arts and sciences.
Freshly arrived from the Renaissance
With an insatiable thirst for adventure, discovering new places and the thrill of exploration.
Beware, for my exploration might include your thoughts, interests, and tales of life as well.
Oh, and don't be alarmed if I become slightly obsessed with the chronicles of history, the peculiarities of the present age, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead in our world.
(Just a side note: I regret to inform you that there is no time-travel-themed cape fluttering behind me as I speak, in case you were wondering!)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To be able to meet and connect with some wonderful people.
Interests
I like my interests to be piqued and my curiosity to be restless. I love the freedom of just being able to learn and evolve, to explore new things, understand old ones, to know more of this world, this life.

Music, Movies, and Books
Everything that thrills me, makes me hold my breath and ponder deeply over things or sometimes just close my eyes and enjoy the little fleeting sensations of its brilliance. There's lots of such stuff when it comes to art, you'll know eventually.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
—Witnessed the morning light kiss the delicate dew on a grass blade.
—Lost my way in Borges's Labyrinths
—Concocted some splendidly mad dreams and put them on paper.
—In an epic, ceaseless battle with my sister, with each fight more outrageous than the last, I have racked up countless victories (well, if you trust my version of events)
—Curated a unique collection of seashells and peculiar stones from multiple shores, my secret treasure.
—Danced like a peacock in the Peacock Park with some kids (should've been a professional!).
—Climbed towering trees (though the descent was a tale best left untold).
—Meditated uninterrupted for two whole days.
—Guided a lost little girl home, her tearful smile was my reward.
—Laid under a starry sky all night on an empty road with a friend.
—Partied till dawn on a quiet, deserted beach with close friends.
—Risked brushes with the government during protests.
—Strolled barefoot on dew-kissed grass after heavy rain.
—Crossed paths with countless wonderful souls on my journey.
What I Can Share with Hosts
—Artful pleasures of cinema, endless poetry and paintings.
—A love for history and science, past and future, that cloaks itself in the present and keeps searching for a good place in a conversation to enter.
—A dense world made up of smiles, anecdotes, accidents, thoughts and tastes (or just good food)
—Some interesting music.
—Some terrible dance moves.
—Jokes that are sometimes funny.
—An honest passion for exploring life (or gossips, just kidding)
—A good time.
