Overview
About Me
Well-travelled, nature lover, underground freak, language freak, a bit of a house builder, quite hyperactive?
Respectfuf and understanding, trying to be able to change opinion, I like when people try to understand others and respect their values, ways of life, opinions and are open to discussion and sharing of experiences
I think people seek for the same things in life, but have different ways to do it!
I like new experiences, meet new kinds of people, I like to be surprised, I am often looking for whatever I will find, meeting friends I don't know yet.
One person's freedom ends where another's begin!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For me the point of Couchsurfing is not to make everybody become the same, thinking the same, acting the same and talking the same, but a means to widen our perspectives and enrich our cultures.
Any person has something interesting, and the hosting conditions don't matter much to me when I am traveling: a nice host, a floor and a roof do.
