About Me

Traveling has been something that I have come to value quite a lot over the last years. Quality traveling aiming to know different cultures, different people...different ways of life. To inspire and enrich myself (and others) more and more, that's one of the main reasons why I so much like to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me quality travelling means to go deep into the culture of the places I am visiting, and what better way to do that than to know the people who live in such places? Who they are, how they live,... Therefore, couchsurfing is to me a great way to accomplish that.

Interests

I love science and engineering, which are the main reasons why I am a chemical engineer. Not only do I love to learn, but also to teach. I have also been a Karate practitioner for the past 5 years and have been doing Biodanza for 4 years. The last has been contributing considerably to who I am and the things I love to do! I am also a cinema lover and to me a movie soundtrack is one of its most important hearts... To me music is the life of a movie, to me music is life.
