About Me

I am a graphic designer with a wanderlust and too little funding to do said travels.

I am a very peaceful and chilled guy. I like to socialise and I like to be by myself. I like to read even though I have gotten lazy with it. I like to draw and doodle while listening to music. I love to travel, as little as I get to do. I like to meet new people in new places. I like to eat local foods where the local people do. I like to explore places. I like to smell places. I love cooking and trying new things.

I can be silly, and I can be deep. I am sometimes a child in an old body, and sometimes I am an old man in a young body.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, as mentioned previously, I like to travel and meet people, but funds are not always allowing me to travel. Couch surfing allows me to travel and meet people, as well as to keep costs low.

I prefer submerging myself into local culture and life, rather than sitting in a fancy hotel.

Interests

Even though I sometimes really procrastinate on my interests, these things still keep me happy and sane.

Being inside and outside are both things I enjoy. I love to really explore places when I travel, I do like the tourist trap places, but even more than that I like to see the remarkable places that are not on the average tourist's radar.

Photos are a way to keep my memories fresh of places I have been, foods I have eaten and special candid moments along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am more of a rock and metal fan, but I don't mind most music. I prefer to stop to listen to music, and when not actively listening I love the silence which welcomes the sounds around me.

I don't watch too many movies or too much TV for that matter, but when I do something easy is best. Action, crime or comedy. The same applies to books. I do love books with random trivia, stupid facts are often the best for conversation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing that I have done, is to open myself to people and experiences. I learned to accept everything for what it is, even if I do not agree.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can become part of the family. I can be a friend for life, even if I only see you once.

I would be happy to help out a bit around the home while I am being hosted.
