About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In June 2014, while doing a project in Portugal, I decided to go to India... by land, an adventure of at least 6 months,
in order to walk, write, learn...

Without a computer, just a smartphone and a Ukulele. No matter how beautiful places are, people are always more amazing, & hopefully I'll meet many of you along the way :)
