CURRENT MISSION

My mission? That's quite an interesting question. I guess make new friends and to travel in the most interesting countries in the world.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself friendly and open mind. I love traveling and meeting new people. I don't have cultural barriers, a human being is a human being, no matter religion or political view. This doesn't mean that I don't have my ideas but I tend to respect others ideas.

PHILOSOPHY

Every person is a universe of knowledge and experiences from which I can learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I guess that the main reason for which I subscribed to CouchSurfing is to meet new backpackers and travelers. And in my life I discovered that they are so far the kind of persons that I like the most.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing is a way of living. I guessed my first stranger when I was in Sweden and he is still right now one of my best friends. Living in kathmandu I had a big apartment where I could host people. Great fun and lots of parties.

Interests

I'm generally interested in the world politics and cultures. I know pretty well Asia and Middle East but I miss totally Africa and South America. I absolutely have to travel there. I listen to a lot of music and I play the guitar.

My main hobby is photographing...
