I like to hear about different ways of living, learn about cultures and languages, from locals and travelers, and discover what special connection people have with the land and space they live in and what moves them.

I've never been one to enjoy small talk, when asking "How are you?" I honestly hope for an honest answer so we can go beyond our self-imposed barriers and connect in a human level. When asked to write "about me" or answering the typical ice-breaker "What do you do?", this quote by Søren Kierkegaard comes to mind:

“If you name me, you negate me. By giving me a name, a label, you negate all the other things I could possibly be.”

So let's just meet and chat ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people who are so open to share their place with strangers, share stories and create generous and loving connections is so enriching! It shows the beauty and kindness that exists in the world despite being constantly bombarded by cruel news every day.

Interests

I really enjoy philosophical and meaningful conversations, as well as light-hearted, less transcendental chat and fun. Love mountains, specially if there's a body of water nearby, fantasy literature, learning new things about other cultures, any kind of creative expression and tasting new food, to name some
