ABOUT ME

I love to meet people all over the world, to laugh together and share the stories. It helps me to see and feel the world from different point of view, to expend the perception. I realy love to learn with and from others people.

The photography, the different kind of art gives me a lof of inspiration. I'm breathing art.
I'm working as photographer, really have passion to take pictures of the people, the portraits, the lifestyle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i love the idia of world wide hospitality and friendlyness. I would love to feel like home and have friends all over the world. Also I think that it's so cool to stay in the house of local person who can share with you some piece of his dayly life and tell you and show you a lot about his city and his country. Also I would love to show the people my beautiful city that i love with all my heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling alone to Peru and Ecuador.
That was exiting expirience. Fist time I lived in hostel, and that was amazing place with great owner and personnel, we became good friends. So after travel to Mancora beach, where I was learning to surf, in one month I came back to Lima and worked in this hostel as administrator. Because I loved so much to meet every day new people from different countries, have long funny conversation in lounge room, to cook together....to share moments of life with interesting people - what can be better!)
