CURRENT MISSION
Seeking knowledge, skills, friends and experience.

ABOUT ME
I am curious, openminded and spontaneous. I value kindness, honesty and generosity, and strive to be all of those. I enjoy life: time with friends and family, culture, travels, food, parties, festivals, music concerts, movies, discussions, hikes in the wilderness, the ocean, etc.

I am educated in political science, economics and philosophy. My occupation is news journalism.

PHILOSOPHY
Live as you would have to repeat your life an infinite times. Never stop to seek to understand yourself and the world around you. Listen carefully to people with other values and strange ideas than you and they might truly listen to you - and you may learn something of each other. Before you leave this world, make sure you do something to leave it a little less suffering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Authentic travelling
