CURRENT MISSION

I don't have a mission at the moment and can't remember if I really once had one.

ABOUT ME

I like traveling, exploring new cultures and countries (especially with mountains or near the sea), meeting new people and taste new dishes and flavors.

One of the things I like most about traveling is just to be on the road, travel around and have to come up with inventive solutions in sometimes difficult situations.

Another nice thing of traveling is meeting new people and learn more about differences in countries, cultures and food through discussions and contract with them.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in logic, rationalism and myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to help people in the way I would like to be treated when I am traveling around. Provide a place to feel at home and be able to be yourself. Give tips about nice places and nice things to do in the area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive. A big part of the fun of traveling is to meet new people and learn more about the differences in countries and cultures through them. The nicest places to stay were where I felt comfortable and met nice and friendly people. I like to have discussions about differences in countries, cultures and food and change traveling tips and if possible some local music as well.
