ABOUT ME

Right now, it seems like I´ve completed some important chapters and looking start some new ones.

politics, knowing what the hell is going on in this crazy world is important for me.

Fun, love my music, enjoy getting to know the small details of what make good cities good.

PHILOSOPHY

go with the flow, don´t hold anything back, be honest with others and myself, live with and be willing to fight for a purpose, seek out inspiration everyday, help anyone whenever i can.

smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

mostly with friends of friends.

everything from rajasthani surfin´with a race car driver to rocking out in brasil with some ¨post-rock/reggae¨bandmates, to campus roadtrips in california that would continuously redefine any preconceived notions i held about the kids down south.

Interests

the way the world works, what makes it change, etc. And when I say world, I mean it with all its interconnectedness in mind.

hearing a great DJ play anywhere. One that can get my head bobbing and my feet moving.

chilling out with friends: it could with great coffee, some beers, or playing some sports.
