CURRENT MISSION

My mission in life will always be to live it as full as I can and plain simple be happy.

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people. I think friends are the best thing in life! You know when you take a look outside yourself, step out of the box and have a chance to learn from another culture, way of life, kinds of thoughts and by doing exactly that learn more about yourself? I have always loved doing that, going to a place where no one knows me and all of a sudden you find yourself surrounded by new friends. Some of them stay for life some for the time you spend together but it´s always fantastic, that´s what I believe make us alive, the connection that fills the spaces between each and everyone of us.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem!{:> In vino veritás!{:P Quid pro quo!!! {:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´m pretty new here, so I still am not sure how I can contribute. What I am sure of is that I am more than willing to show people who visit my city around and share some stories and adventures on the travelling alone cenarium.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wow I can´t believe it took me so long to update this part! I had an awesome experience this past July and August when I went to NY and Italy. Met such INCREADIBLE people and made fantastic friends that hopefully will remain in my life for a long time to come!!!
