I explored life in its many forms for so many years in order to discover what was out there. Now I live in Berlin, where I feel can explore much more than any other city.

In this new location I try to empathise as much as possible and understand we are all different and that is what makes us special and individuals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My CS experience has gone well and opened doors and I had a lot of fun along the way! I loved the project as it was a big part of my travelling experience for the first few years although I'm sad to say it's becoming a free airbnb recently.

I feel the idea of allowing someone into your home emphasizes the solidarity we have as human beings. If we can conquer fear we can also overcome hatred, racism, homophobia, intolerance and preconceptions.

I just hope people who come here understand that it's my home, that I have an unpredictable work schedule I use to pay for it and are happy enough to adapt to that.

Interests

I enjoyed travelling and like meeting people and listening to what they have to say. After all this is an investment not only in knowledge of their ways, but a knowledge of yourself and areas where you need to improve and grow.

Love techno parties, cycling around Berlin and going to whacky parties where anything could happen :D

I like talking about leftie topics like feminism (as I value equality, however hard it is to accomplish) alternative outlooks (it's good to keep open and thinking outside the box) and amateur anthropology (if you are not connecting with other cultures when you're a traveller, you will never grow into a fuller human being).

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to techno, synthwave and post-punk generally. Recently saw Boy Harsher live here in Berlin and they were fab!

I also like reading enlightening material on finding the higher self and empathising with others which leads to a fuller understanding of who we are and a personal development that is quite interesting on the long run.

I enjoy listening to different music from classical to rock or hardcore to techno..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived having all my stuff stolen in ecuador and reached Peru on $50 with nothing but a board under my arm and a t-shirt. I couldn't even find some flip-flops so i went barefoot all the way.
I also found myself roving through Australia. That was essential for the beginning of growth and a real self-discovery on the road from one side to the other.
I hitched Europe four times that truly gives real meaning to the adage that the journey is the destination. (is that three things? oops)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a Berlin tourist guide so I can show you around and help you with whatever you need.

I like to chat about lots of subjects, after all we do receive and understand a lot more when we sit and listen even if the words are just vehicles for our message.

I am trying to progress from vegetarian to vegan so any new recipes would be welcome.

I want to practise German as I live here for a few years now but never really got going with the lingo - so help appreciated!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to practice speaking languages and can share some great travel stories and experiences of different sub-cultures. I like to cook, wash dishes and hang out often flexibly and independent of the host or guest.
