I love meeting new people and learning about new ideas. With every new person that I meet, I discover something new and add it to the collage that is me. I've also started an inward journey of self-exploration long ago, and made it my mission to extract every bit of flavor out of this life. I keep an open mind about everything and judge no one.

I enjoy exercising, playing video games, deep conversations, and meeting new people. I often spend my time working, writing, reading, or drinking coffee and socializing in cafes.

I'm not outgoing at all so if you're into visiting museums, seeing historical buildings and such, I probably won't be good company. But if you enjoy cafes, conversations, movies, hangouts, drinking, smoking, videogames, and nightlife, I am your man.

Regarding hosting, I'd love to have you as my guest. My house rules are:
1. Please let me know roughly when you will be coming and leaving to adjust my schedule.
2. You can't shower or do laundry close to or after midnight cause the noise of the water flowing through the drain pipes bothers the downstairs neighbors and won't let them rest.
3. And please respect my way of doing things around the house. If I ask you not to do something a certain way, for instance, not to wash teflon pans with a rough sponge to avoid scratching them, please listen.
