Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people, and exploring the world, and I believe Couchsurfing is the perfect platform for that. For me, the most important thing is having great experiences and sharing them with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are too many to mention just a few, but I'll try. I love Carlos Ruiz Zafón's books (he's a great Spanish writer), as well as works by John Boyne, Markus Zusak, Victor Hugo, and Frank Thilliez. I'm also a big Harry Potter fan.

As for movies, here are a few examples: Life is Beautiful, Forrest Gump, Les Misérables, Pan's Labyrinth, Edward Scissorhands, and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over the years, like anyone else and all travelers, I've had some amazing experiences. One of them was during my time living in Dublin, Ireland. A friend and I went to the countryside and hiked to the top of a mountain. It was crazy because it was so cold and windy, but the views of the sea were absolutely breathtaking. I also crossed the Sahara Desert on a camel with a group of friends and visited the Great Wall of China. Speaking of China, I traveled across the country by train ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is about sharing, teaching, and learning - every day!
