About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do these little things that might save the planet... locally.
(Ok, I took a plane to come...)

ABOUT ME

I am a quite calm and funny person. I like to understand how things work. I like doing things without purpose, or without interest. I like being lost in my thoughts. I like surprising myself and others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Both ways. Me and my former flatmates hosted many people here and there during a few years. Now we all live in different places, but my (new) flat is still open. And I also like surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first hosted without knowing couchsurfing: a traveller was supposed to be hosted by a friend, but she was not free at that moment. I was not registered yet, but the guy was cool and it was a good first experience.

And then I went couchsurfing in Argentina (first official registration)... I loved it! And then the story continues...
