Retrophile. Isolophile. Solivagant. Minimalism and stoicism fan.

Major sights and attractions are at the last of my list, or at times, not even in my list. However, any spots that strike my fancy (mostly the offbeat and the obscure ones), with or without any companions, I WILL put it in my to-do list, plan for it, save up for it and go to it NO MATTER WHAT.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Same reason why the utter introverted side of me was able to do cliff jumping, rappelling, paragliding, kayaking, ziplines, etc --- trying stuff :)
