A child, unapologetically so. Fearful and reckless, clumsily shy and obnoxiously loud, a loyal friend and a horrible person, with a bad memory and good intentions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm constantly surprised and fascinated by humans and what they're capable of. I believe in people, unconditionally. Every new friend means a new perspective, a new trajectory, a new world. Connecting with someone else will always leave a mark, no matter how small and insignificant it might seem - and I do love change, both in myself and everywhere else.
The mere fact that a network such as Couchsurfing even exists seems to me further proof that people are just amazing, that's all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched children dance to rock 'n' roll music every day, for a year; marched through a forest for an entire night without getting eaten by bears; allowed myself to fall in love all the way to the bottom of the hill.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn Icelandic, Polish, Norwegian and Portuguese. I want to learn how to dance foxtrot, to play a double bass, to climb rock walls, to bake macarons, to pack a suitcase perfectly. There's still so much I need to learn that I really can't afford being picky. I want to learn everything, for as long as I possibly can.
I don't know if there's anything I can do that someone else would like to learn. But if I did find anyone who wanted my help, I'd never say no.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you my stories, sure - even though I'd much rather listen to yours.
I can bake decent cookies and cakes, if you have an oven or a rice cooker - but then you're doing me a favour.
I can tell you all about my weaknesses and most embarrassing secrets, and make you feel powerful and socially adequate in comparison - and also funny, as opposed to me.
