About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to leave things better than I found them.

ABOUT ME

I'm a creative, open and sensitive person who is passionate about social and humanitarian issues, journalism and current events. I also have a healthy sense of humour. As a guest I am considerate, low-maintenance, easy going and happy to adapt to your schedule. If you would like to go out together and do things, I'll be up for it. If you're more of a solitary person, that's fine too.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't hurt yourself and don't hurt anyone else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's amazing. Just like hitchhiking and ridesharing, meeting strangers can really boost your faith in humanity.

Interests

Cameras, bicycles and guitars or any kind. I like to spend my time exploring gritty urban landscapes and abandoned or old buildings and drinking green tea. I'm very into early blues music, meeting people, cultural superstitions and having experiences of any kind.
