An engineering student part time English teacher from the forgotten empire of Lusitania. Living the reality of post-Snowflake Syndrome, one lasagna at a time.

I want to understand people and cultures. I've come to believe that most problems arise from lack of basic communication and as such, I seek to communicate with the world and better understand its motives and what really drives people in this life.

Please note that if you do come I'll want to spend some time with you and get to know your story :)

*I'm sorry if I don't get back to you, I get way, way more requests than I thought I would and it's hard to get back at all of them especially with nos...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Spending the night at a local's sounds a lot more like travelling to me than doing so at some hotel.

Simply put, the world of Couchsurfing has consistently put me in contact with amazing people. It's also important to admit the reality that it allows students and the like to travel where budget would otherwise not allow, and all travelling is welcome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completely changed who I was.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll be happy to learn and teach whatever - swing dancing, languages, intruments, sports. How to land the best prices on Amazon. How to pick a pair of headphones. How to fool an airliner in an intercontinental multi-leg trip. Just about the most interesting stuff you can learn about :-) Kappa

I'm super interested in really learning languages for those who have the patience to teach it some. I'm also very interested in your whole life story, even if it may sound boring to you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm generally a bit busy as I have a few hobbies aside from my teaching and studying, so I am rarely able to do the kind of surfing where I stay with you all day throughout your stay.

Having said that, I'm an extremely easy going and relaxed person, so I'll share as much as I can and feel my hosts are comfortable with. That includes my time, meals and overbearing sarcasm.

I'll be especially happy to teach you the ropes in Lindy Hop!
