About Me

Artist. Creative (sometimes). Unusual (euphemism for being weird). Present. I enjoy everything that goes beyond the mundane. I tend not to take things too seriously, and can joke about almost anything. I dislike dogmatism and most mainstream narratives.

Quite experienced with alternative ways of traveling. So I understand your desire for a place to sleep and/or your wish to see the area from the perspective of a local.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The adventurous, unpredictable way is better than the boring way. Meeting new people and discovering unusual places.

My place is unusual too, and for that reason an interesting place to host people.

Also, the local experience is more insightful, than the tourist experience.
