Carpe diem

ABOUT ME

Thoughtful, practical, daring. I am a work in progress trying to improve myself, to grow and learn through meaningful experiences. Pacifist by heart, a warrior by mind. I like pushing my limits just to see how bendy they are.

PHILOSOPHY

"Walk a mile in my shoes"
I try to understand my life and my experiences through the lives and experiences of others. Why do we respond differently to the same situations? How much of ourselves is conditioned by our social and cultural environment? In what measure can we understand/feel the experiences of others, what it feels like to be someone else?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to do my bit by welcoming and hosting people where I live and helping them get the best experience they can from it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back when I was in highschool there was this program of hosting a northamerican missionary for a week. I signed for it several times and it was just a whole lot of fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far the most amazing place I have seen is Bahia de las Aguilas in DR. If paradise would exist, it would look something like that.
