my personal goals in life are humility and wisdom. everything I do brings me closer to that goal.
i want to get to know foreign cultures and learn as much as i can from everyone.

the only thing nobody can take away from you are the things that you give.

i like conversations, wine, books, laughing, dancing and sports. i'm not complicated really, nothing special about me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

life is beautiful.

when i am 80 i want to cook and invite friends over to chat about recent topics as well as memories. i have 60 years ahead to build memories with people.

CS is perfect for getting to know the friends i will have come over for a meal in 60 years. you could be one of them ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

moments with family or friends

Teach, Learn, Share

i am quite a good cook, i like italian and levantine cuisine and some argentine meals as well
