About Me

At 35, I made a bold decision to shift careers from hospitality, gastronomy, and tourism to the tech and remote work sector. This change was driven by my passion for learning and the limitless possibilities offered by technology. Embracing this new path, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering new skills and navigating the dynamic world of tech, proving that it’s never too late to redefine your professional journey.

Something I’ll never abandon: my passion for writing and music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To exchange life stories, to help when possible, especially when the budget isn't what one would hope for, to meet people who may leave a lasting impact on your life, to show my city – whenever I can, with all my heart – since I’ve been warmly welcomed and treated with love in many parts of the world; and to contribute to something no one should ignore: getting a good night's sleep.

Interests

Music, literature, cinema, astrology, archaeology, shamanism, alternative energies, world history, native cultures, human rights, immigrant rights, feminism, the environment, ending religious conflict, extreme sports, running, cycling, football swimming, travel, nature, dancing, hitchhiking, driving on the highway listening to music, bowling, pool, ping pong, card games, deep conversations, spending lots of time with animals, climbing mountains, rowing on lakes, going to concerts, attending theater plays, always reading a new book – but also rereading the incredible ones already read – watching movies, taking photos, camping in remote places... And one or two more little things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having climbed to the top of mountains, having loved, having forgiven, having sung, having written, having changed careers, having lived in countries I never thought I could live in.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: anything that arises from my life experiences and interests, happy to teach and/or share it.

Learn: very open to learning anything that might interest me. I will never stop being eager and curious.

Share: everything that those I meet are interested in receiving about what I’ve done or know. I believe in generosity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes, respect, humility, dedication, good conversation, walking around, a nice tour of my hometown, information about cultural, gastronomic, and tourist spots; warmth and beautiful moments.
