I'm an extremely sociable person, constantly in need of expanding my universe. This is one of the reasons why I'm on couchsurfing. I love to share good moments with old and new friends -sometimes ships passing in the night. Sometimes meeting, signaling, exchanging valuable information, or just a few laughs. I believe there are more good people in the world than bad people. Perhaps if the good were to connect more systematically, a better world could be achieved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people. Other people are often a mirror of oneself. If that is true, I consider myself lucky. So far my experience has been extraordinary, not just with the people we've been hosting ourselves, but all the couchsurfers and hosts meeting up, hanging out in and about Odessa.

Interests

I'm a great admirer of talent, be it musical, literary, architectural, etc... I love to be wowed by things, concepts, or ideas that are bigger than myself. Eclecticism is key: art entails creating entirely new concepts, but most often it's combing what has come before in new, unexpected ways. Contrast, complementary hues, one plus one equals three! This goes for people too. As my own Bhuddist-Christian background can attest. Moreover, and again this is where couchsurfing comes in, I like to enable other people to connect, to organize, mix and match people, ideas, backgrounds, and so on and so forth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have dived in different seas and oceans. Every new setting to me is a challenge, but one I gladly take on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll do my best to be a bright and sunny day in your life. I like to share whatever I happen to know about any subject. I like to sing, so perhaps we could sing together? I love conversation in general, accepting other opinions in the knowledge that there is something to learn anywhere, from anyone.
