want to see the world young, adventurous travelers see. The hotels and the resorts and the shopping can wait till later. I'm friendly and want to meet new people, have new experiences, and see new places. I'm always keen for unplanned adventures. I'm helpful, and I always want to here the stories people have to share. I can have a good time out on the town at night, but I also enjoy peace, quiet, and nature. I'll talk politics, philosophy, economics, writing, history, science, or anything really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to settle down, to have a stable life, a place to call home and to go back to... but not yet! I'm lucky enough that if I wanted to I could eventually settle down and call home in almost any country in the world, so for now I want to travel and find the place where I might stop one day. I want to experience places the way people live there, to share the local experience and to learn from hosts and surfers.

Interests

Cycling and the outdoors. Argentine tango. Cooking good food, drinking good drinks (my philosophy: all new food is good food). Economics and (international) politics - I'm always interested in hearing other perspectives about the world and about different cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo 200 mile bike ride - hopefully farther in the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm neat (I never leave a place messier than when I arrived) and respectful of space and belongings. I can be quiet and keep to my own space if preferred, but would love to meet new people and share experiences. Would love to have hosts be able to share with me their favourite parts of the place I'm visiting.
