Why is it so hard to describe ourselves sometimes? I ask a lot of questions and that has given me the greatest experiences and pleasures in life so far. I'm not just a good listener, I can passionately speak for hours about things I care about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the feeling of connection and discovery. A few years ago, a certain someone showed me a huge gesture of solidarity letting me crash at their place until I could return home. And here we are.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bring me all your indie rock, folk, and alternative tunes. Also a huge fan of classical music, national anthems, country, and soul. If I'm in the mood, people can persuade me to listen to heavier stuff.

I'm bad with movies. I've watched like 10% of what people consider must-watch movies. If there's something you'd like to show me, I'm in! My favorite movie is Darkest Hour.

Oh boy, oh boy. Lady Miracle takes the cake. Also, alternate history books are my thing. There's a nice word for it, but it's not well known in English, uchronia. Think of Dan Brown.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

18 hours of non-stop driving during a roadtrip. Yes, I survived.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you to sing the full Ievan Polkka, and a lot of useless facts about the world.

I'm always up to learn stuff about countries, and insights about cultures. A few phrases in different languages are always welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Long and energetic talks about a range of topics. A rendition of my favorite songs. Taco recipes, tons and tons of 'em. Fun and useless facts about the world, and engaging stories about the many times I've said "eff it, I'll do it" and it has gone just the way I didn't want it to go.
