CURRENT MISSION Seeking one ABOUT ME I like to think of myself as a rather attentive and easy-going lad, rarely hesitant to hold a conversation. I'm driven by a passion for life, people, travelling, and the challenge of leaving the familiar to discover the unfamiliar. PHILOSOPHY Viva la vida I believe in learning through experience and exposing myself to as many fascinating events as possible—before the day comes when I'm too old or tired to keep up with such an approach. Fingers crossed that won’t happen anytime soon.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Host and surf. Surf and host. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I initially used it during my university years and on various short and longer travel ventures, which mostly meant being hosted by others. Witnessing how fellow humans welcomed total strangers was a truly eye-opening experience—one that inspired me to return the favor, especially to travelers passing through Saigon or Ibiza. Hearing countless intriguing and inspiring life stories has become another rewarding aspect, and a strong motivation to stay involved in the initiative.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Nothing amazing—just a handful of interesting ones worth sharing in the right setting, preferably with a good atmosphere and maybe a glass of red or a pint.
Teach, Learn, Share
Under certain circumstances (i.e., when I'm not miserable, hungover, hungry, or thirsty), I can make a solid case for why it's better to 'always look on the bright side of life' than to sit around crying over a pathetic existence.
My Interests
I tend to pay attention to anything that feels new to me and offers a chance to expand my horizons. That said, traveling, literature, photography, politics, music, cultural initiatives, and cinematography—especially what's considered classic films—are my main fields of interest.
