(Trying to sound mature:) My life is on the move.

(Attempt failed:) Above all, just a spontaneous and opinionated/sarcastic nerd who (still) likes Mickey Mouse and other rodents in his blooming early twenties.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Because I’m tired of collecting postcards. Instead, I am looking to collect interactions and experiences. On a deeper (high-sounding) level, it’s for the pure reason that I can meet you, and if I meet enough of ‘you’, I’ll meet myself.

Intereses

My biggest interest is to explore the interests of others. Otherwise I am drawn into politics, board games, photography, visual design, solo traveling, writing & reading, language learning, social work and volunteering, art galleries and exhibitions, and stand-up comedy.

Música, películas y libros

R&B, Jazz, Blues, Soul, Pop. / Mariah Carey./ Woody Allen, Wong Kar-wai; horror, thriller, dystopia/utopia, political satire, parody, comedy, cheesy love story, and documentary.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I started traveling solo (a quasi backpacking trip with my first hostelling experience) at the age of 15, spending a full week in Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai, Thailand. I was not legally allowed to travel alone or check into a hotel and my dad had to sign a responsibility waiver at the airport. But I made the trip anyways and there, on the sandy beach of Phuket, I wrote down “Carl, Travel the World”.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can spare you some of my redundant social credits (upon presentation of your criminal record).

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

A good conversation. Cultural exchange. Bad jokes. Depending on local supplies I can also cook some of my favorite Chinese food. I also love packing a little something with me as a thank-you.
