About Me

You can find me within or near a body of water most of the time. I relish my solitude and long periods of silence just as much as a pleasant conversation. It is through shared activities that you can really learn about the people around you.

PHILOSOPHY

The road to success is always under construction. (unknown)

"A person is a person through other persons" (Zulu maxim)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I still think about the people I've crossed paths with through this website and see them as my friends, despite the time passed since our initial encounter as complete strangers. All these unfolding experiences and memories, the creation of a world with each new person.

- two weeks in New Zealand on a couch for a Junior Lifeguard exchange program.
-After making some friends from France, I hosted their siblings for two consecutive vacations.

- a friend from Peru stay on my couch for a while and the favor was returned a year later.
