I'm very serious, very tall, very handsome. And I'm a liar.

I try to approach life with humour and sarcasm. When in company I like having fun, non-sense conversations and making jokes. I'm sociable and rather chatty, but I do my best to listen too!

I'm a lot into science, especially biology, and always up for a geeky conversation. I like being surrounded by friendly people, though I also enjoy some solitude for walking and writing - I try to achieve a healthy balance between the company of others and the company of myself. I'm up for pubs, coffee, museums, walks, hikes...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not much on CS these days, but I used it to meet new people and attend social events (especially pub nights and hiking trips), especially when I lived in Ireland, where I also hosted and surfed.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list, but The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, The Simpsons (the first 8-9 seasons, that is) need mentioning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Encountering bears in the wild, once while hiking among giant redwoods in California and another time in the Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park. Or unexpectedly finding glow worms in a cave in New Zealand. But I guess these are things that happened more than things I did.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a thing or two on the subtle art of cat sitting

Kindness, safety, good humour, Italian coffee, tales from Antarctica, maybe a bit of wisdom, maybe more than a bit of madness
