ABOUT ME

I've just finished a MA in Anthropology and I am going to spend four weeks in Israel...

PHILOSOPHY

“Sooner or later in life everyone discovers that perfect happiness is unrealizable, but there are few who pause to consider the antithesis: that perfect unhappiness is equally unattainable. The obstacles preventing the realization of both these extreme states are of the same nature: they derive from our human condition which is opposed to everything infinite.” (Primo Levi)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted many people from all over the world and have also couchsurfed myself. Being naturally nosey by nature or perhaps just plain curiosity I love the idea of seeing snippets of other's lives and other cultures in a way that staying at multinational hostels just can't do. I haven't used Couchsurfing for a while, so it'd be nice to get some experiences from it.
