Sincere, sociable, excitable. Floor-sleeping, anything-eating, benefit-of-the-doubt-giving. Planning is key, but spontaneity is indispensable. I'm a grouch against trends and pop music! I don't drink much, but when i do it's time to dance. Learning to put oneself in another's shoes is a life skill worth developing. Understanding people is just as important as understanding the physical world around us.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
There's a lot to see, but not a lot of accessible in situ personal perspective! It's important to get acquainted with a place by interacting with those who live there. Also, Couchsurfing seems to exercise good will and propagate a culture of reciprocity. This is a good thing, and sorely absent in my town!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I fell into a canal in Venice at 10 years old!
Teach, Learn, Share
The propagation of knowledge, the sharing of experiences between individuals, is the main strength of our species. That two-way skill should never cease to be exercised!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Good cheer, respect, sincere discussion. Basic Spanish lessons (with an optional second-generation Cuban colloquialism twist)
My Interests
Nature. Cause and effect. Ancient history. Science. Ethics. Reason. Food! I have a dumb tongue that's easy to please.
