CURRENT MISSION

Live and let live

ABOUT ME

Incurable romantic when it comes to living

PHILOSOPHY

Epicurean by nature, Nietzschean by nurture.

Almost never take anything personally. Make the very best of every single second that you have. Be very curious, learn as much as you can, try new things whenever possible.
Don't go for labels, don't go for groups, be uniquely genuine, show that you like what you like and hate what you hate.
Love people and things for what they are, but never stop hating hipsters :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf, but mostly join in activities and show people around. The meeting of new people is really the objective here, so if I am not travelling or if I cannot host I still try my best to participate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dived (sky/water), traveled a fair bit, met many cool people, fell in and out of love ;) etc...

Teach, Learn, Share

I've heard I am a good listener; I love to hear about people's expertise. No matter how boring you may think what you know is, I'll love to get some insider's knowledge.

I enjoy reading about random stuff. From the discovery of water on Mars to the latest trends in social psychology. So I guess most of the time I find a subject in common to both teach and learn with any and everyone. :)

Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Uruguay
