I come from rather odd religious family that never really decided to set foot in a city until everyone was just too old to keep moving. The religious side never really stick to me, but the discipline that convictions demand and the gypsy-like vision to keep searching and moving are things I appreciate dearly. The discipline explains my obsession with readings and film watching with religious seriousness, my nomad-like childhood explains my desire to keep traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just finished college, no kids: just don't want to get cold feet and expand horizons, confront different ways of living.

Interests

Literature, Cinema and Language learning are my great passions. These passions have my insatiable pursue for human interaction and empathy in common. I believe that aesthetics are gateways, in some form, to a rather personal conception of spiritual fullfilment.
