About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn eeeeeverything I can on cultures and people

ABOUT ME

I am a young architect, I am really curious about diferences, diversity.
I consider myself a calmed openminded person, generally lively and energetic.
I love arts, architecture, cinema, reading, any kind of sports, history, I love to observe, to understand... I really like too many things to write them down.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travell moving arround and getting travellers home. It's just an awesome way to do so.

Interests

Well, I am genuinely interested in anthropology, in how people live life. I myself love culture in any form, cinema, any kind of performance, if it's spontaneous better, books, obviously, books and books, I like reading novels, how not, but also history, I ALWAYS travel with at least a book and love to talk about them, especially classics, music is also really cool, I like the rhythm, the feeling in it, I'd love to play something, unfortunately the best I can do is a shitty whistle... I looove languages, I listen to all the music I can in different languages, I'd love it if you could add to my list! I'm also an active person, sports, hahaha, I love sports, I'd walk for hours, never mind in the city or out, flat lands, mountains, hills, everything is OK, and meeen bicycles... I love bikes, but not in a super competition kind of way, just to feel the world on a bike, great view, great company, great chat, a bit of a joke that got me by surprise... heaven :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything I think of is things I've done when travelling, so I think I can say that the most amazing thing I've done is to actually travell, cause that has given me so many amazing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every city I go to I try and learn on its history and on the special places and weird customs they have. I'd love to learn a bit of the local language (many times is not possible to learn it all) and well, I would gladly help anyone learn any of the languages I talk, I could also teach some drawing, basic architecture concepts, anything I know really, history or to change a wheel tire (I learnt this with a CS and an awesome YouTube tutorial :). I would love to, really, really love to share a bike ride, although I'm OK sharing a walk, and obviously I would love to share loads of conversations; I'm very interested in how the politics work, how the countries or cities are organized, if they have any tendency of independency, or is there a strong local culture? maybe in music? maybe in food? I love food... anyway, everything is good for me as you can see :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bike rides, chats, fun, walks, everything I know-have done-seen-experienced.
In a more practicall way I am happy to clean, do the dishes, cook :)
