About Me

My travel is about having a break and a search of calm, peace and spirituality !
I also love food and people ✌🏻
The best way to travel is threw the others and their lifestyle !
I love to meet local people, going to normal places doing local stuff and eating good local food !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered the Backpacking lifestyle one year ago while I was traveling in South America.
This experience was very strong, we were two friends and were only staying in Hostel, we met a lot of Backpackers and had a lot of fun but afterwards I realise that I didn’t connect with the local culture..

Couchsurfing offer this extraordinary opportunity to meet people from all over the word with the same interest in travel and meet the world !
I also meet a lot of people in Bus and train, Indian people are so welcoming that I’ve been invited a few time to eat and sleep at people house and those experiences change totally my way of seeing the travel, I became addict to meeting local people !
So I decided to create an account on couchesurfing to make this my Daily basis !
