About Me

Worked in the events industry for almost 10 years, also a translator by trade.

Like good banter over a few drinks.

Do not live my life vicariously through my phone camera with "Valencia", "Clarendon"...post-processing.
Also a strong proponent of "just eat your food".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

More of an AirBnB person now that I am not a broke Arts student anymore. Still try to keep up with CS every once in a while to meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Arrived Lisbon at midnight, lost the piece of paper with all the contact information of my friend there, ended up finding my friend's place with the help of very nice drug dealers and bar patrons.
