Travel writer, science journalist, ex-editor of Montok Travel Magazine, now managing editor of popular science magazine, ballroom dancer. I love height, depth and silence, all colors of water and sky, mountains and yachts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know more about this world and to discover all the diversity of human lives on this planet.
