Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am addicted to learning things. I love knowing new cultures, talking about history and philosophy of other countries and learning new languages. From me, expect long and deep talks about books, cultures, history, the meaning of life and much more!

I like to meet the locals everytime I travel, hearing their point of view about the country they live in. I managed to meet a lot of interesting people on couchsurfing and I enjoy listening to their life stories.
