About Me

Funny human being, perhaps a bit crazy jaja, lively, good listener, helpful, optimistic, open-minded and very dedicated to the people I like. I believe that people can evolve more and more everyday. Don't like talking about surface stuff. I'm a pretty deep and sensitive person even though I love saying stupid stuff jaja.
HOWEVER, there's always a but, I kind of like to argue (which is + and -) and I'm pretty impatient, even a bit impulsive. For instance, with technologies... you know when it doesn't work like you want jaja.

Petites phrases cheesy fétiches:
On a toujours le temps, il s'agit simplement de le prendre.
Nadie es profeta en su propia tierra.
La vie est simple au fond, nous sommes ceux qui compliquons les choses.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's just great! I love it.

It is priceless to be able to:
-meet up with locals while discovering their culture. Is there something better than learning about a place with someone that lives in it?
-host heaps of different people, exchanging, showing them what you like about your place and then have connections and new friends from all over the world.

Both good sides of it: locals and tourists, which makes Couchsurfing perfect in my opinion.

Interests

LAUGHING NUMBER ONE.
Meeting and sharing with new people. (Very big social side)
Love dancing: hip hop, tap dance, contemporary, jazz, latin dances, house, African dances...
Listening to music: hip hop, R&B, soul, funk, blues, house, old rock n' roll, disco, latin, reggae...
Discovering and immersing myself in different cultures, situations...
Learning new languages.
Driving (with loud music on and singing obviously jaja).
