ABOUT ME

After having completed my bachelor in Nottingham - UK, I decided to go on a pilgrimmage - on foot - that led me to Istanbul. For nine months (which included a few breaks) I crossed Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Bulgaria before getting to Turkey.
6 Months after I came back from it, I cannot tell what changed about myself after this trip, what I know is I met hundreds of fantastic people who helped me carry on my path and offered me hospitality.

I already travelled quite a bit, Already been to Russia, where I worked for a Human Rights organization, to Spain where I lived during my erasmus year abroad. UK, where i completed by bachelor for three years.

PHILOSOPHY

Love, live, learn. I am me, you, him and her, everyone and everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I am always somewhere on the road, I am not able to host, but I am always up for sharing experiences and spend good times with everyone !
One more thing: I travel without money, so the point is to ask for hospitality, but I'm always ready to help for whatever my hosts will need.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had the best experience ever doing couch surfing in Poland for three weeks with my best friend. I'll remember this experience all my life, I met the warmest-hearted and interesting people ever! It was also very fun to receive people from all over Europe when I had my flat in Granada - Spain.
