About Me

An easy-going and sociable person. Love to meet new people and see new places.
I am interested in social injustices, charity projects, different social movements, ecological sustainability, waste reduce and so on.
Would be happy to meet people with similar interests and beliefs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS seems to be a great alternative to booking expensive hotels, renting apartments and so on as I believe there should be no borders or money limits for travelling, getting to know other cultures and people.
The idea of being a global citizen seems pretty appealing to me, as the geographical borders or any political or religious beliefs should not stop people from broadening their horizons by getting to know more about how people live in other parts of our planet.
