About Me

Nice guy with a sense of humor. Adventurous. Empath. ENFP. Open-minded. Love making conversation over drinks and going for a walk! I love to laugh and make others laugh. I am a very grateful, considerate, and respectful guest, who tries to leave a space in even better shape than how I found it!

Trying to see the world, try many new things, and meet tons of ppl. Extroverted! I only discovered how much I enjoy dancing to house DJs at 29! Also very much into doing chill things like meditating and hiking.

Three goals in life: learn as much as possible, meet as many people as possible, and try as many new things as possible! I search for the beautiful and the different wherever I go, not only because I'm an optimist - but because it's the best way to learn from and appreciate life. not afraid to go up to a group of strangers ~ Making friends around the world is a dream for me.

Obsessed with language learning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the most memorable travel experience doesn't come from sights, foods, etc; they come from interactions with people! Sure, I love meeting other travelers from hostels, but I believe there is something special about meeting locals, to understand how they live and how they feel about where they live.

I'd like to meet new people and have fun experiences! Couchsurfing is a great way to make friends around the globe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music from all different countries, from Desert blues from Mali to Bollywood to Fayrouz to Salsa and Cumbia. I'll listen to just about anything. It generally tends to have a fun disco vibe ^^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studied Bengali + Hindi and used it in India while traveling.

Took a death-defying marshrutka ride into the Tusheti mountains in Georgia then hiked all day to spend the night in this fairy-tale village called Dartlo.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always love doing language exchanges. I can teach lessons in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Hindi, Bengali, or Tamil! Can teach how to make most Indian foods!

Let's make dumplings together!
