PHILOSOPHY
Eat good, digest good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and their interesting couches. Signed up in 2012 when I was searching for an apartment in Rio de Janeiro (wound up finding one through a local university), but work led me to neglect my account until now. Hoping to get back in the groove as a surfer and a host.
