Currently finishing up my second Master's in northern Italy. Slow energy, minimalism, looking for meaningful exchange. As of recent have been much interested in climbing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's still a wonderful magnet for awesome people with diverse life experiences. Even with the recent years' mishaps, paywall and all, there's still a worthy lot of noteworthy folks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Take two - swimming and surfing every day for a month, learning the flow of the ocean
and Annapurna Circuit - savoring the touch of the mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can talk and share about linguistics and perception, casual philosophy of trying to tread one's own path. Food chatter is always appreciated, hitch stories, photography, comedy.
