Sincere, sociable, excitable. Floor-sleeping, anything-eating, benefit-of-the-doubt-giving. Planning is key, but spontaneity is indispensable.

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!

Interests

Nature. Cause and effect. Ancient history. Science. Ethics. Reason. Food! I have a dumb tongue that's easy to please.
