About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live each day as if it's my last. That's why I don't do any laundry, because, come on, who wants to do laundry on the last day of their life?

ABOUT ME

I fear lying on my death bed regretting my life. That thought drives me to make the most of the limited time I have on this planet.

There are few things I enjoy more than laughing.

PHILOSOPHY

"To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting." ee cummings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a number of surfers and been to a few meet-ups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only positive! Every single person I've hosted has been humble, polite and has educated me in some way.

Interests

I'm fanatical about music, art, counterculture, riding my bicycle and absorbing knowledge. I love spicy food, chocolates, tasting different breakfast cereals and beers (not necessarily at the same time) , spending too much time on the net, investigating alternative social/political ideologies, admiring creative geniuses and wishing I could do what they do, wearing women's clothing (just checking if you're paying attention!), and most importantly I'm always open to new interests.
