About Me

CURRENT MISSION

running around until it makes sense not to anymore.

ABOUT ME

just like you, i'm not exactly box-shaped and definitely not word-colored, although i'll do my best to translate.

i like a most things that rhyme with music or art, especially if either has a little adventure or spontaneity mixed in. the best parts of an experience are the people you have it with, great conversation is key to life enjoyment.

i like the noise of the city and the sound of the middle of nowhere. i like to listen to these things with people i love. i like to stick my nose in books and good bars and your philosophy.

i like using proper grammar when i type, but i like hearing other people use slang, especially in different languages. i usually pack swimsuits in winter and wool sweaters in summer. i have a serious and long-term relationship with cheese and a more serious one with wine.

PHILOSOPHY

love each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i don't currently have my own couch to lend you, but you don't need one of those for coffee or tapas do you? and when my couch status changes, i promise YOU will be the first to know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

no experience yet, but i can't wait to get started!

Interests

modern art, quality music, books, writing, wine, traveling.

i love my family and friends, they make my world go round. i spend a lot of my time writing about the things i read, see, touch, smell and hear.

i love the mountains and the ocean, and if there's a bike around, i'll probably be riding it instead of driving my car.

nothing turns me on like live music. i was born to be in smoky bars, outdoor amphitheaters, living rooms filled with acoustic guitars. wherever really, as long as those sounds waves are pouring in my ears.
