About Me

I am a vegetarian (mostly a vegan), an economist, a bike mechanic, and a math teacher. I am studying renewable energy technology at Durham Tech, the program also includes a construction electrician certificate.

I am a radical individualist, probably a nihlist, and have some anarchist sympathies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before I came to couchsurfing, I frequently stayed on the couches of friends and friends of friends and strangers at banquets whom I convinced to hand over their keys. So the idea came rather naturally. I have hosted more than surfed, though I have done both.

The way I see it, my couch is perfectly comfortable to sleep on, but is empty most nights: might as well find a way to put it to good use.
