Lis ceci stp!

Hi guys - As bizarre as it feels to need to write this on CS, I'm heterosexual (soy hetero / je suis hétéro / sono etero), so please do not offer to host or meet up if you're just looking to go to bed with me. Happy to meet up and chat... But that will be all.

Sorry about that... This seems to have become an unfortunate/uncomfortable reality of CS on both sides... Gracias, merci, grazie.

Hola, salut, ciao!

French (C1), Spanish (C1), Italian (B2)

I love to travel, meet new people, learn new languages, and visit new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to engage in the city life and make connections with locals. As much as you remember the places you've visited, you also remember all the people you met along the way. When I first started I wasn't expecting much and was really just looking for a place to stay for one night in Québec... my ex-girlfriend suggested that I try couchsurfing and since then I haven't stopped. I've met some amazing people, seen incredible places, and feel like I've made friends around the world. It's an awesome system built on trust, mutual hospitality and a pay-it-forward like mentality.

Interests

Language junkie - French (C1), Spanish (C1), Italian (B2)

Travelling - I want to go everywhere... and feel like I've made some progress... Currently travelling the world as a nomadic copywriter

Books (addict). My one goal in life is to have a nice library in my house - priorities. I own 500+ books so I'm on my way. I don't value material possessions but with books I make an exception. I mostly read philosophy and political science but I also like cosmology, evolutionary biology, psychology etc. If you need book suggestions or simply like discussing different authors/ ideas then I am a good person to talk to!

Camus, Nietzsche, Cioran, Levi, Bernhard, Orwell.......

Sports - football, baseball, hockey, soccer, tennis.

• books

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical tastes are a bit hard to nail down. On my ipod you might jump from some Nirvana to Beethoven's Ninth.

Rock is a go to - RHCP, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, White Stripes, Sam Roberts, The Strokes, Nirvana, Audioslave, Arcade Fire, Stromae, Metric

Classical - Beethoven, Chopin, Vivaldi...

Linklater, 2001, Gladiator, Blade Runner, LOTR

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mount Snowden in Northern Wales
Started my life as a 'DN' and spent 6 months living and travelling in Mexico... more to come!
Learned 3 foreign languages (still improving of course)

Teach, Learn, Share

My language(s), interests (lots of book titles), questions, ideas, and experiences. Sharing a laugh or two is always a nice way to pass time.

I have shared interesting conversations with everyone I have met through surfing and always learn a thing or two. It's a cool experience to discuss ideas with people from around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always happy to help out in any way I can :) Some people take couch-surfing for granted but I understand that people are generously offering a place to stay, often expecting little to nothing in return. If any help is needed cleaning or otherwise just let me know.

If you're in my neighborhood I can offer to host in return...

Otherwise its always nice to get to know my hosts a little whether or not it is strolling through the city, sharing a meal or just hanging around and enjoying a conversation.
