About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the way. And some good food, if possible.

ABOUT ME

My friends jokingly call me the "encyclopedia of nonsense" in reference to my ability to switch from deadly serious subjects to light, funny ones - and back again - all in the same conversation. I love to travel, to learn languages and find cool, unexpected things.

PHILOSOPHY

The improv' way: don't plan too much - awesome things emerge as soon as you embrace the moment.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
