In quick short sentences: I enjoy chatting (a lot!); I've never cliff jumped; I have a French bulldog (meaning I love pets!); I'm passionate about visual arts, music and travel writing; I love passion fruit; I enjoy being indoor as much as I do being outdoor; I'm an occasional runner (been better, I confess); enjoy cycling; favourite hobby: people watching at the airport; I'm carefree and very easygoing and I love to learn new languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In short, to experience cultures in a more personal way. Meeting people in different places is not just about getting to know the locals' spots (aka to avoid tourist traps!): it's about grasping a bit of life from that place and making it your own. :)

Interests
