About Me

ABOUT ME

For the two years and a half I have lived in Prague working as a tour guide with my girlfriend Georgia, who I met during a beautiful period living in South Spain. Before that I was here and there, working in different cities getting some travel experience and meeting interesting people. Before that I used to be a good high school student and played for 6 years in a fun rock band.

I am an easygoing 27 year-old who enjoys learning and sharing. I am passionate about cooking, history, society and music. When traveling I love getting to understand the place I am in, so I tend to get interested into pretty much everything around. As a Tour Guide, I try to find inspiring insights about the cities that will help me explain the one that I work in.

I listen carefully and sometimes I get deeply interested in particular topics that I like to explore to the core.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My past experiences traveling are deeply influenced by the people I stayed with. Walking with someone local makes cities become alive and the invisible becomes meaningful. As a tour guide myself I understand the importance of helping other to read and share places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch mostly documentaries on society, history, music or immigration. Lately I have been greatly impressed by Paolo Sorrentino's movies. However, I always quote Goddard's Band à Part as my always classic.

Now I mostly read books about the history of Central Europe and Prague. When I have time, I run through The Economist magazine to understand what is happening in the current world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I camped on the garden of a Montenegrin 75 year-old ex-sailor who hosted my girlfriend and I one night we were wandering in an unknown valley.
