About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There is nothing more admirable than getting involved with the world. Based on that, my biggest passions are travelling around the world, meeting new people and not only learning from them, but also teaching them a little bit of my culture. That is a partnership based on mutual respect, trust and understanding.

ABOUT ME

I am a very joyful and communicative person. We have only one chance to be happy, so that makes me live every minute like it was my last one.
I really like making friends and hanging out with them. That has helped me to develop not only my speaking skills, but also my listening ones.
Cooking is my cup of tea. I can spend hours in the kitchen. xD

PHILOSOPHY

Let's do the best we can every single day... once a day goes by, we never get it back, so let's live to the fullest!
Do you know this feeling of being grateful to someone who has done something good for you? That is gratitude. Do not forget to say 'thank you' as much as you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is like a great big family party. That is the chance to have bottles of joy and glasses of pleasure for free. I have always fought for love and respect, and this way of welcoming people that we have never met before with a big smile just reflects a caring attitude towards life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun rise over the Atlantic ocean on my way to Paris where I met Celine Dion and took a selfie with her (Nov/Dec 2013). Yay!

Teach, Learn, Share

"One thing is for sure: if you follow your dreams, it means you follow your heart, and if you follow your heart, nothing can go wrong; the power is within."

What I Can Share with Hosts

This is the very first time that I am looking for someone willing to host a new friend, and that makes me think about one thing:
Everybody should have a mission, and I have always tried to find mine. We have only one chance to use our lives to both help others and contribute to improving the world in our own individual way. That is what I want to talk about and fight for everywhere in the world.
