Hola, salut, ciao!

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

I love to travel, meet new people, learn new languages, and discover 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 (C1)

Travelling - I want to go everywhere... and feel like I've made some progress...

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, tennis, baseball, hockey, soccer, basketball

• writing
• books

Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, RHCP, White Stripes, Sam Roberts, The Strokes, Nirvana, Franz Ferdinand, Audioslave, Arcade Fire, Glorious Sons, Stromae, Metric, Grandson

Classical - Beethoven, Chopin, Vivaldi...

Drove around NZL south island.
A walking tour in Hebron
Learned 3 foreign languages (still improving of course)
Overcame extreme OCD

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've shared interesting conversations with everyone I have met through surfing and always learn a thing or two. It's a cool experience to discuss new 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.
