CURRENT MISSION

I want to understand more of the world around me.

ABOUT ME

More often than not, I have my head stuck in a book (generally sci-fi, sometimes pop-psychology ala Malcolm Gladwell). I love hiking, especially when I can pretend that I´m the only person who has ever seen the area. I love to talk about theoretical societies and to solder electronics kits. (I do have non-geeky hobbies, I´m sure of it.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sometimes I like to sit back and catch the flow of conversation before jumping in; other times I like to be in the spotlight and organize group outings and such.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My travelling companions (the same ones who convinced me to go on my first trip out of the country) also convinced me to join couch surfing. I dropped off after that trip (Sept. 2011) and am now on my next major trip (Oct. 2013).
