About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Globetrottin'
ABOUT ME
I love adventures and endeavor to have as many as possible! I really enjoy meeting new people and discovering different areas, either by myself or with others. I'm fond of good conversation, around even better food, and have a great appreciation for art in all forms. I'm a explorer at heart who loves to seek out the beauty of both secluded nature and urban terrain.
PHILOSOPHY
Lean into it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It adds yet another dimension to travelling; it´s an excellent way to experience a different perspective.
Interests
Everything and anything: robotics, biomimicry, sailing, parkour, gastronomy, globetrotting, graffiti, botany, music, language, sociology, etc.
I have a great difficulty doing nothing and this urge to constantly move forward has brought me in contact with many different fields of interest, allowing me to deepen my understandings and try my hand at all sorts of fascinating practices. I'm partial to concentrations that contain a combination of mental, physical and creative aspects. Especially when it involves a challenge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There are so many experiences to put here and each is so different. All are exceptional and incomparable, whether it's saving a life or sitting on a canyon's mesa, imagining how things must have looked when it was under the sea and teaming with prehistoric life. My favorite though, the one that trumps all else, is that moment in the wild when I feel a unique tranquility settle within me and the serenity of my surroundings seep into my mind. It's not a terribly exciting thing to write but I'm always amazed by the feeling when it occurs.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've always got a story to tell, an adventure to recount. I've also tried hard to retain a classic, youthful sense of curiosity regarding anything and everything. I really enjoy learning about other people's experiences or sharing in their knowledge. So much of what we know these days can be reflected in a variety of facets, shaping our day-to-day lives. I'm fascinated by these connections and relish when others enter my world to impart something new and revolutionary, no matter how small or simple it may seem.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Some fantastic stories and great conversation. I´m also an avid chef and would love to prepare a meal as a token of thanks.
