ABOUT ME

My life revolves around saving money in order to travel the world meeting people from all around, trying new foods, and seeing what is “out there”. I enjoy stepping out of the box and venturing were few have gone before.
I am an addict of all kinds of food and will try anything, seriously. I try my best to live a minimalist lifestyle not only because it is easier to travel that way, but also to reduce the incredible waste humans already produce. I'm an environmentalist and outdoorsman, what can I say.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is a stranger until you say "Hi".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's a great way to get to know the people, the lifestyle, and find hidden gems in an area.
Plus sleeping on a couch or even a floor is better than my tent/car.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - too many to count but two great ones are Animal House and Up

Music - Daft Punk, Animal Collective, Bon Iver and anything related. Though I love anything with a good beat and enjoy new, experimental works.

Books - I hated reading when I was young but now I read at least a book a week. Anything interesting or a good story will draw me in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
