About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people and create new experiences.. enjoy this life with anything it has to offer! :-)

ABOUT ME

I have seen and did quite a few things in this life - some I remember with great emotions - some I wish they didn't happen; nevertheless, they were all lessons to guide my path and/or make me understand a bit more about our world and human nature in general..

I enjoy meeting new people - I enjoy discovering characters and souls that are still able to discern white from do-not's and black from grey.. although wherever I see grey I tend to make it white, if possible :-)

I am probably a bit too stubborn [positively, if I may say so!] sometimes for my own good and I enjoy making people smile. Or laugh.. if possible.

Please do not take advantage of what I offer. I am not mindless, inconsiderate or careless - I just have high hopes in human kind.

I am looking forward to more experiences, adventures and new friends in this little big world of ours!

PHILOSOPHY

Do your best and expect less. You might be surprised :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently hosting and can accommodate up to 3-4 people/night if needed [group].

I am looking forward to contribute further through other projects / events / wherever possible. I have a flexible schedule and access to a few resources so.. why not :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

*** IMPORTANT ***

Nothing important right now. Please come back later - we will receive a new shipment of IMPORTANT items soon!

*** END OF IMPORTANT BLOCK ***

I have started by offering my place to other surfers and I can tell it has been a truly wonderful experience - everyone I met has brought their own unique views and experiences to share and, optionally, listened to some of my own :-)
