About Me

My motto: "Grow, love and travel" (c)
Why do I like to travel? Because it means to get out of my comfort zone and explore the unknown. Sometimes we have to lose ourselves to find ourselves.

I like to do things I have never done before, even if it's small simple things. I love this "first time feeling".

I'm the leader of a worship band. I play the piano, guitar and sing.
Also I'm a part of youth ministry and a team leader in a volunteer organisation (working with children).

I love to play board games with friends, drink some great coffee or vine, late talks, sea, sunrises, everything about cosmos, postcards and, of course, have some adventures. I'm learning to live this beautiful life consciously and in the present.
So wanna share a moment?

Hitchhiker since 2015.
People use to say I have a strong personality.

PHILOSOPHY: Love and acceptance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is an opportunity to meet people from different countries, with different traditions, experience and views. I love people. People inspire me. I'd like to listen to their life story.
Also I believe that all of the people we meet are sent to us for some reason in that exact time at that special place.
