About Me

Hey, I decided to leave my home country with a one-way flight to South America to discover new cultures and make new friends. I'd be very happy to share a part of my trip with you ;)

I'm an easy going person, very flexible. I love nature, climbing mountains, fly fishing, arts in general, animals and chatting for hours around a pint of beer or a good cocktail. I also love playing football with the locals in every country I go to and I love running too.

My dream would be to buy an old bus, turn it into a house and travel around Europe to find a nice place to stay and start a permaculture project. Until then, I just travel and meet free spirits :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled to many different places in the world before but mainly as a tourist or to visit family. Couchsurfing is the occasion for me to experience a new way of travelling and meet genuine people of beautiful countries.
