Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First time I heard about Couchsurfing it was five years ago and I was like: "So you stay with some strangers... For free? I think I don't get it". Then I tried several times during an amazing road trip for Berlin to Istanbul in spring 2011. And I understood the whole thing. Couchsurfing has given me very special memories that you don't get in a hotel, nor even in a hostel or in airbnb. Couchsurfing spirit is about sharing (and not only a roof and some blankets) and I can say that I was amazed bu the incredible genereousity of the people who hosted me and who totally transformed my travel experience into something much deeper.
So I'm trying to share.

Interests

What does interest me? I spend my time by reading, watching movies, listening to music, going out and meeting my friends and, of course, new people. I love travelling, I feel I could spend my whole life on the road. And I like many other things: Chocolate, rock, croquetas, horse ryding, bicycling, the nature, climbing, yoga, pilates, YouTube, theater, bier, dancing, the beach, walking...
