About Me

CURRENT MISSION

increase my friendships

ABOUT ME

ATTENTION PLEASE
I daily get requests for my sofa.
Many of the requests are made by people who want free hotel.

Like this: "Cause I want to travel and not to be in hostels or hotels"
Or: "I'm at porto and I need a room!"

Before someone make me a request please think carefully what you want.
After so long, patience and calm have limits.
I'm going to be rude in my answers

People without references please don't request for couch.
You're just wasting your time because I do not accept those requests

What can I say about me? I think the best way is to read the references, those who hosted wrote. I like to make friends, exchange ideas and above all to show my city those who visit us.Create your own visitor map!visited 34 states (15.1%)Create your own visited map of The World

PHILOSOPHY

As my sign says I am Gemini.
Extrovert, imaginative, and always have new ideas or inventive.
I like making friends.
But .... on the other hand, I like having my own space and become introverted
