CURRENT MISSION
To explore. To be more curious. To be open and kind.

ABOUT ME
I'm usually extroverted, but sometimes it makes me tired and I like to be quiet. I try to do my best and to improve myself as much as possible. I enjoy connecting and sharing with other people : )

PHILOSOPHY
Pay attention to what's going on inside and outside of you.
David Foster Wallace is on of my favorite authors and I think that this commencement speech is really important. So much can happen in a day. It's important to remind yourself that your reality is just your reality and that everyone has a different one. Try to see the value of them all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CrOL-ydFMI

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
People are an adventure in themselves, I like listening and caring for them. When people connect (even in tiny ways) it brings love into the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Time and time again i'm humbled by the kindness of others. Sometimes I think that Couchsurfing is one of the ways that my faith in humanity gets restored.
