ABOUT ME

I can find humor in most situations.

PHILOSOPHY

I think Mario Benedetti put it best when he wrote "No te salves." (Don't save yourself)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

open to meeting people, surfing, and hosting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

had a wonderful host in Berlin who worked for the Green Party, lovely guy. my friend and I staying at his house were so taken with his hospitality that we bought him a small tree to liven up his apartment -- a little biophilia never hurt anyone, right? We spent about 25 minutes in a flower store debating which kind of plant would be manly enough before slogging it up four flights of stairs to the guy's Neukölln apartment.
