CURRENT MISSION

To experience and savor life...one taste (actual or metophorical) at a time

ABOUT ME

Like most of you out there, I'm an explorer of sorts...always curious to check out new places or revisit the old ones, to dig a little deeper or just to try the daily specials. I enjoy the process of searching (whether I find it or not) for the best of what any place has to offer...in the way of tastes, aromas, vibes, vistas, laughs, melodies, harmonies...the best of which are those among people and personalities. Traveling has always been an inexhaustible source of friendship...just hoping to continue and amplify that experience here.

PHILOSOPHY

Hedonism...with a reasonable sense of conscience.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had an amazing experience travelling with CouchSurfing in the SW part of France, as well as in Sardinia...it was completely positive in every way. I met and shared experiences with wonderful, generous and interesting people in every city I visited.

兴趣

A bit of this and that...biggest passions being music, good food/drink, languages, photography, reading... I guess most of all, I enjoy being outside, soaking up the local ambience whether it's in the mountains hiking (biking/skiing/climbing) or wandering around the city...stopping for a pint or two with friends.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I had an unforgettable travel experience on my first visit to Norway. It wasn't for the breathtaking fjords, the statuesque, towering blonde populace, the hyper-efficient, progressive, socialist culture, the inescapable troll figurines, nor anything like that. It was a matter of art. You see, I was in the Munch Museum in Oslo when the world famous painting "The Scream" was stolen...saw the guys who did it and everything. Crazy! Will tell you the whole story if we meet...
