ABOUT ME
I love cooking for people, games, bonfires, exploration, films, art, celebration, dancing.

PHILOSOPHY
Water off a duck's feathers.
Never cease being amazed.
Details are beauty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know a place on its own terms, for what it actually is, and not just the shiny attractions. I believe that can be done by mindfully observing the place, tasting the food, hearing the music, and, of course, meeting the people.
