ABOUT ME
I'm easygoing and curious about different cultures, enviornments, etc.At the beginning I'm a bit quiet, but not much with couchsurfers, I like a good laugh (well who doesn't) and I like silly/sarcastic humor.I like to talk pretty much about everything and I always try to learn something new from my hosts/guests.I still have a lot to see:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Besides offering my place for couchsurfers, I'm trying to spread the word and explain the importance of such a website. As many people say, this is not intended only to stay in someone's place for free but to share, learn and exchange from your hosts/guests.
After being here for almost 2 years I can say that this website changed the way I see things and I know it will sound a cliché but it changed my life as well... I'm totally into couchsurfing and I consider myself a spokesperson of this website and I try to spread this idea to all the people I meet.
