I’m someone who feels at home almost anywhere in the world. Travel has always been a defining part of my life—not just discovering places, but connecting with people and sharing stories. In my twenties, I was an early couchsurfer through The Hospitality Club, a little while before hosting and staying with strangers became more common. Sleeping in beds between home and Singapore and from Stockholm to Capetown, on matrasses and couches, a futon on a tatami floor, or on the hard rock of a Syrian cave, is what shaped my view of the world. Or better said: cooking together in unfamiliar kitchens, dancing the night away in Istanbul, hosting couchsurfers from Bombay, getting my tire changed in Mugla, and talking deep into the night with people who quickly felt like friends is what has given me a modest window to the humankind's diversity and warmth. That spirit of openness has stayed with me and is key to how I am currently raising my foster son. I love welcoming guests with genuine curiosity, warmth, and respect, believing that real connection often starts around a shared table.
