About Me

I'm an aspiring human being, trying to really value and respect the difference, and truly believe that the more one get to understand the other (emotionally, culturally), the less likely they will hate, make war, and accept inequality around us.

Also, and less important, I`m an engineer and photographer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
