ABOUT ME

It's dificult to describe oneself!
Ok, let's try...
I think I'm a person open-minded, curious (in the good meaning of the word!;) Sometimes a little shy, but most times joyful, and my friends even think I'm funny ;)
I really like travelling, meeting new people and new cultures; walking trough the cities or the nature; learning new languages, learning dances and songs...

PHILOSOPHY

... Carpe diem!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment, I surfed but I received only one time because of mu little appartment.
But I would like meet travellers and help them as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The landscapes on the tour from the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia to the Chilean border: incredible...
Cabo de la Vela in Colombia (Guajira) on the low season: there wasn't anybody, I just was with heat and wind on that beautiful landscape: incredible feeling...

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can teach French language, and also a little of French Sign Language! This language is very interesting!
