Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from all over the friends, to share ideas and knowledge, to learn from each other and to make new friends.

Interests

Geopolitics, photography, meditation, consciousness, futurism, economics, travel, pretty much everything that I either know or don’t know about. I am a very curious person with an open mind to explore new horizons.
