About Me

I believe the best way to learn about a culture is being part of the daily life of local people. That's why I'm here. I don't want to be just another tourist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because we only live once, there is a lot to explore and no time to regret.

Also exploring a country from a local perspective is an amazing experience.

There are some places that no travel guide book can show you.

-My favourite movie and book is an information that changes constantly. At this moment, Into the Wild(Jon Krakauer) is my favourite book and movie but it will be replaced as soon as I finish it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Risking and Challenging Myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”

"Live, travel, adventure, bless and don't be sorry."

― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't want people to change their lifestyles just because they are hosting me. I don't want to feel like I'm bothering people. I would love to help as much as possible, so just let me be part of your life for awhile and I'm sure we will enjoy sharing our experiences.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal
