Back to CS after years. I like meeting people from all over the world. I am curious about other cultures and an eager travel enthusiast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in sharing. I understand it as a way of loving militantly. The world would certainly be a much better place to live in if more people were willing to open up their homes to others.

Interests

I am an avid reader. Passionate about history and art enthusiast. I am a firm believer in love and solidarity as the basis of human interaction.

I am particularly interested in post-colonial literature but the list really is endless. My favorite postco authors are Homi K. Bhabha and Benedict Anderson. Pretty much any story featuring some kind of diaspora is interesting to me.
