About Me

I'm an open-minded, big-hearted, gentle, naturist, and spiritually curious queer soul who happens to be an actual wizard (interpret that as you will!). My energy flows between deep dives into philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and tech, and grounding myself in nature – whether it's beaches, rivers, waterfalls, or tending my rooftop plant jungle. I find magic in both quiet moments and the pulsating energy of psychedelic raves. Thinker, nature-lover, and keeper of subtle arts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why I'm Here (& Why You Might Want to Be Too):

I'm a soul collector and cultural cartographer. I crave genuine connection and am endlessly fascinated by the kaleidoscope of human existence. Travellers are my favorite kind of human library, full of stories etched by different lands. For me, cultural exchange is that spark where we discover both our beautiful differences and the universal heartbeat beneath it all. I host to create a sanctuary for fellow interesting, curious wanderers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a surfer, I bring open-mindedness, respect, and a genuine desire for connection. I love sharing stories, perspectives, or just chilling together at the balcony. I'm happy to help with chores and bring a little spark of my unique self. I appreciate both deep conversations and comfortable silence.
