I think most other people would describe me as a nice, creative, and observant/introspective person. I spend a lot of time thinking about how I can optimize and add a little novelty/adventure in my life ✨

I have an open-minded view on most topics and try to be as objective as possible (with opinions and news sources). I love to dive seriously into philosophical/psychological topics but I have a silly, child-like side that comes out with humor or when I get excited.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Part of both of my self-improvement and traveling journey. As a natural, super introvert (that still likes other people), I'm practicing more social connection as I realize how important it is. I'd like to create more stories with other people/new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music I think it's more practical for me to list genres (as I like thousands of artists): Pop, Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Rap, Alternative, Indie, Jazz, Folk, Electronic, Soul -- All that to say: a bit of everything. The good thing is that I can share a bit of nostalgia with most people I come across.

I'm a huge, lifelong sci-fi/fantasy geek. I pretty much consumed anything supernatural and whimsical growing up. As I got older, more psychological thriller movies and non-fiction books were thrown in the mix. These days I'm trying to focus more on creating stuff than consuming (against the advice of Lemony Snicket who, when I was 10, told me to never become a writer as "it's a dreadful job" 🙃 he writes just like he speaks).

When I'm drawing I like to listen to educational podcasts or inspirational content.

Backpacked through West and East Europe (mostly solo) on separate occasions. I'd love to be able to do the same in Southeast Asia and South America with a friend or two.
