About Me

i am.
here, we are in need of words, for it's the only way to get to know each other before plunging into each other's lives and hope to emerge as better people
but words have limits, so i am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to teach as much as I can from what I know and learn as much as I can from what I hear and see.

ps. simply to prevent awkward situations, I want to say that I'm VEGAN (I do not consume any kind of animal product in my quest to try to minimize the harm I do to the world)

Interests

books, writing, reading, poems, words, languages, literature, personal histories, human weaknesses and strengths. worlds. seeing. cultures. theatre, plays, movies. photography. philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn all kinds of stuff: about cultures, languages, history, places, philosophy, film, photography, arts, vegan cooking, sustainable living, whatever life has taught you.
I myself can only share the bits I know about what I love: literature, photography, some basic psychology, sociology & anthropology ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I know, how I try to understand, and I can listen.
