CURRENT MISSION

To never miss an opportunity, a good conversation and a chance to do a small favor for a stranger

ABOUT ME

I am very outgoing and am always up for an adventure. I am both an introvert and extrovert. I am social and love to go out on the town but i would just as much enjoy a quiet evening with a small group of friends and good conversation. i have been told i am pretty funny and tell engaging stories. i am respectful of people and their opinions and try hard to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs one. i do this not only because i believe in the law of Karma but because it makes me feel good.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Because it brings us all together in a fun new way!

I used couch surfing when i traveled Southeast Asia for 4 months in 2012. I loved everyone I met and I think they would say the same.

One day, when I have the space, I will host too.
