About Me

I am an open-minded person who like to enjoy my life, make friends and contribute to make the world a good place to live for everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals is ten thousand times better than renting a room, as the chance of getting to know a new place's local culture, local people, charming places and local arrangements are ten thousand times bigger! Instead of being a shy touristic foreigner, it allows you to participate and feel at home in a new society. I love it!!

To host couchsurfers is also a great pleasure to me. Both to help the surfers and to get to know new people. And this is a perfect opportunity to get your living room (and perhaps even the kitchen and the plates!) influenced by another culture.

I try my best to answer everyone, but I know I don't manage. The unpersonal copy-paste-ones are not the ones prioritated!
It will often be easier for me to accept a surfer less than a week before, I'm a better host for spontaneous travellers than long term planners.
