About Me

Another restless soul in the world!finding a sort of balance all the times. I'm a very easy going person. I need very few thinghs to be happy and travel is one of this! Only when you travel you can open completely your mind and change your point of view. I like to be with shiny people and share some good time together.

I like this aphorism:
The journey through the countries of the world is a symbolic journey indeed. Wherever he goes he's looking for his soul. This is why every man must be able to travel.
Andrej Tarkovskij

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like to be a tourist in the traditional way and only steal a piece of the place that you're visiting by taking photos of everything and without discover a country. I think that CS is the best way to go visit a place, stay with locals and go closer to an other culture.

Interests

I love being in the mountains, hiking, cycling, swimming,camping, reading,cooking, doing yoga. I love any kind of art...music, painting and sometimes I like to create some objects. Some good dinners and a beer with friends is the best. And sometimes doing nothing and chill out is one of my favourite activity!:)
