I grew up in green nature and good food, and that's what defined me.

Here to share a smile or two. To help and contribute as much as I have in me. For a friendlier world to live in. To make memories and to be remembered. One can live many lives by sharing experiences. If I could, I would travel the world. If not, I would have the whole world in my room.

I am discovering life at my own pace and crafting meaningful connections along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Helping travelers, to meet and get to know new people and hear their stories, learn a thing or two. 🧳💬
