"And me? I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for. Because it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment... It lasts forever." (Richard at The Beach Movie)

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling + Photography + Food (When I travel I like eating exotic things, things I don't find back home!!) + Cooking

ABOUT ME

I love cooking, travelling and learning about everything. I am in love with this life and with this pretty cool world I live in. I'm passionate about photography and Asian culture. I'm 100% fun and easy going.

When I travel my inspiration flies, I get excited about every single thing I see, things I hear, smells I get...because all of these things are what build up my own memories. When I'm on the road, I like to write all these thoughts in my little travel journal. My dream is to one day share them (don't know how yet). But still I have to write more memories...and that's what I'm trying to do, that's why I travel and travel and travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always thought friends are in every corner of the world and we only need some warmth to share that hidden smile in all of us. I will always be sure that spending time with locals while traveling is the BEST way to savor and enjoy a new place. The authenticity and detachement when you share your country with a foreigner or someone interested in your own culture, is a footprint that will stay in your heart and memory forever.
