About Me

Disclaimer: I'm back on this platform after many years- this profile, like many other aspectos of my like is currently a (re)work in progress. Please ignore or forgive the overly pretentious parts that remain for the time being- I was like 19 when I wrote them... I don't know who I thought I was going to be, but perhaps you can be the judge of whether that came to be.

CURRENT MISSION

See it all, do it all- and ultimately be it all. Additionally: Eat it all.

ABOUT ME

My main priority in life is truth. I'd rather have truth than be comfortable. I used to study philosophy, and unsurprisingly I am now lost. For the time being I'm just taking it easy, spending a lot of time with friends and pursuing some passions. I have to hold myself back from asking "Why?" all the time- it can get pretty tiring for both myself and others but just give me a smack and I'll stop (for a little while.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to think of it as a platform to see the world and meet as many of the interesting people on here as possible. Nothing fancy. Now that I'm back on the platform after many years, I do believe I have the same intentions, but with new perspectives.

Interests

I like going for long walks with people and just talk. Did I mention that I like talking?

  • walking
  • reading
  • hiking
  • swimming
  • table tennis
  • languages
  • philosophy

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I regularly enjoy 80s pop, modern hip hop, 2000s-alt rock, drum and bass, and everything between. Someone recently pointed out that I like very "physical" music. Show me your favourites if you're excited about them!

Books: I love Albert Camus and I hate Paulo Coelho

Movies: I get really inspired when I watch movies, to the point where any crappy movie will more or less make me want to change my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked El Camino de Santiago seven times. I've given up trying to elaborate on my experience there; it has to be experienced first hand. If you have a month off work or, even better, if you haven't got a job; go do it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want you to teach me about myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Philosophical conversations, not so philosophical conversations- beer, wine, grappa... you get the idea. I might cook for you. For some reason I love organising and tidying (but hate cleaning) so that might lead somewhere too.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State

Countries I’ve Lived In
