Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Having a story to tell about every place in the world and collecting crazy travel experiences.
ABOUT ME
I'm a welcoming person and I love telling stories.
I try to learn something from everyone, and I'm eager to learn about your travels and your country traditions, and maybe even a couple of phrases in your native language!
I consider myself an open-minded person and I love a good chat while sipping a nicely served coffee or a tasting a great beer, depending on the time of the day.
I may be shy at first, but I am easy to get along with :)
PHILOSOPHY
Learn something new everyday.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have been a CouchSurfing host so far, with more than 50 people hosted from all continents of the world.
I also surfed a few couches, and I am willing to continue with both!
Interests
Getting to know the world, people, different cultures is what I love and a life goal.
I'm also an avid music fan and player. Currently I'm both a guitarist and drummer.
I love to do a lot of other stuff, like hanging out with friends, parties, geocaching, cinema, football, tennis, ping-pong, skiing and so on.
