About Me

"Be the change you want to see in the world"
Once you are aware about all madness in this planet I believe that it's really important to be as ethical as possible while taking decisions related with our way of living.

Travelling is always chasing me. There is so much beauty and new things to discover in this world.
"Life starts when comfort zone ends"
I'm fascinated by this planet diversity. Diversity of ecosystems, landscapes, animals, plants and people's cultures and ways of living. I'm always trying to learn new things. discovering the world, it's beauties and wonderful people. to face challenges and new experiences.
I love to live and travel in a low-cost way I believe that we can have more beautiful and authentic experiences when money is not involved. I love to hitchhike and share travels with people, and go to places that weren't planed.
I love to camp on nature so wild camping is something I've been doing when I feel its safe.
It's always a pleasure to meet new people and to learn with them. I'm very respectful with the others, people, animals and the planet. I'm not totally vegan but I try to be as much as possible! (It's really difficult while traveling)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is the best tool to travel ever! :) I always had such nice experiences that I can't travel without it anymore. To meet good local people and visit places with them and their tips its the right way to know new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have quite a lot even though I don't have so many references - since I usually travel with friends a lot of times they make the requests and get the references, I use it mostly in all my trips :) I have been hosted +70 times in different continents and countries.

For me CS is a great tool to have better experiences while travelling, to spend good moments and exchange help. It's not to feel that someone is making you a favor and that you own them something. If you will be hosted by me feel free to do what you feel like, for me it's really important to know that you feel confortable the same way I want to feel when someone hosts me
