I am a civil engineer currently doing my PhD at University of Toronto. I am passionate about travelling. I have had the chance to visit Paris, Athens, Rome, and Amsterdam when I was 18 years old, and the rest is yet to come! I am currently learning Spanish language since I love it, specially the poems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I may be going to travel to Europe once again soon, and I am looking for friendly and cool people to meet in the cities where I go and find a place to stay. I am relatively new here so I have a lot to learn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I usually don't praise myself so I can't answer this one :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have lots of information about cinema, music, and books. I have watched tons of great movies about which I can talk for hours. Apart from that, I think the best thing people from completely different stories can share is their experiences and view of life.
