About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living 'n sharing the best moments

ABOUT ME

A little silent at first sight, then easy to discover the liveliness. Regardless of the city I'm living at that moment, I always try to discover all of the city, attend almost all the events and festivals (does not necessarily have to be musical) and meet as much as people from any part of the world on these events. I always listen to some music, varying by the mood and also playing music actively wherever I live. Now, I have so many plans to travel around Europe and meet more&more people. And the rest, you can explore yourself..

PHILOSOPHY

I guess I already mentioned it everywhere. I just live it the best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I've a sweet apartment on my own at the moment, I host the Csers that are worth spending time with. I also like traveling alone and even if I don't surf on that trip, I mostly meet a lot of surfers just by sending messages. On my city, CS is also quite active and I mostly join the weekly/monthly events around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Started surfing in Berlin and then spread to all my travels. Met a lot of people in my hometown and current city. It's amazing to meet some people from CS during travels on your own.
Since now, I hosted really significant number of people in my own flat, so my experience can be read through the references.
