Why I’m on Couchsurfing

penchant for unpeeling the layers of new acquaintances' lives

I enjoy the idiosyncrasies of hosts' abodes, like the bathtub that you have to turn on and off with pliers . . . the WC door that doesn't fully close . . . the ceiling fan that wobble wobble wobbles . . . so much better than hotels 😏

Interests

I am a sponge when it comes to music. I love it when people DJ a little to show me awesome new sounds

Lindy Hop is gold, Tango is profound, but gahdamn Bachata and Blues are sexy

there's a wide span of things that capture my interest, most recently ai: LLMs, GANs et cetera et cetera... it's hard to keep up O.o

I quite value solitude, introspection, journaling, nature and mindfulness

  • jazz
  • history
  • short stories
  • silence
  • surrealism
  • artificial intelligence
  • sustainable living
  • existentialism

What I Can Share with Hosts

my time
my attention
my appreciation my perspectives on life

happy to share some dancing tricks

I enjoy discovering things and teaching more than anything, so if you would like to work on English--asimismo, he dado clases de español si te llama la atención--I'm more than happy to oblige, and I'm always interested in improving my Mandarin and learning more about the richness of Taiwan and China.
