ABOUT ME

- Calm person
- Vegetarian
- Illustrator
- Bike activist
- Polyglot
- Ukulele player
- Linux user

I'm curious and I like a lot to meet people, but I'm not really a "party" guy. Going out in any condition and staying up 'till late getting drunk are typical activity I don't like.

PHILOSOPHY

I try being among other people without to stop being myself. This means being able to say "no" gently, and I'm gradually getting better on it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My door is open to share any kind of experiences. I'm not regularly active in CS groups and meeting, but I attend them when interested in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Basically, I used CS while traveling as a mean to have different points of view. Being a tourist and do the sights seems to me a slightly consumerist-like to conceive a trip, so I always tried to seek a more internal approach meeting people and understanding what lies behind the "image" of a city.

兴趣
