About Me

CURRENT MISSION

. .. ...achieving my DREAMS... .. . :)

ABOUT ME

1) I'm like the wind: here & there & everywhere!

2) I have quite a lot of interests (science, dancing, sports, books, traveling, psychology, films, concerts, theatre, montaineering, tea, etc.).

3) I am a real salsa- & tea-maniac, who loves meeting people from all over the wOrld & face-2-face communication.

4) I adore spontaneous and openminded people.

5) I would like to experience all the dimensions, colours & nuances of the word multicultural...

PHILOSOPHY

Live YOUR life & seize every single moment!

Dream about the impossible!

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

"You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself." (Samuel Levenson)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host people, show them around & try to make their stay even more unforgettable. :)

I love salsa (dancing). Actually I am ADDICTED to it... I'm not an instructor, but as I use to say - dancing is like funny walking so if you can walk you should be able to dance too! ;)

I can teach you one of my languages...

I can teach you how to dance, practice yoga, hug trees, play a flute, recycle almost everything, how to fold a plastic bag, how to cook a healthy & delicious meal in 10 min,...

And, of course, I can show you how to prepare the best tea ever! :P

We can try to make this big wOrld seem smaller!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met lovely people and gain GREAT friends.

Interests

Beside sports (blading, skating, cycling, volleyball, running, swimming, climbing, canyoning), dancing (latin dances - especially SALSA, standard dances),... I also adore hiking, backpacking, trips and picnics in the nature.
