I'm an open-minded person who is always happy and find pleasure in simple things. My girlfriend and I are both students who wish to share and to learn about the cultures of the world.

I have traveled around Europe, while being hosted at my friend's place, therefore I thought that sharing my place with those who may need it could be exciting.

Life is so colorful, don't waste any more time. Be courageous, be interested, love and laugh a lot.

Love the life you live, live the life you love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While travelling, I've met so many nice people.

I like to learn other cultures, other ways of living and meet people from around the world, hear about their story and their experiences.

I think couchsurfing is one of the best way to do that, either by surfing or by hosting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have great knowledge of the area and a couch in the downtown area.

I might not have time to hang out, depending on how busy I am with school and work, but I can always point you in the right direction for a great adventure.

All I ask in return is that you keep the space as clean as you found it.

Surfboard rental available!
