About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for independence in every possible way.

ABOUT ME

Friendly, simple, joker. I studied advertising, but arts are my real passion and I hope one day I can find the best way to express myself through it (even if I’m horrible drawing). I don’t like fast trips, but most part of the time are the only ones I can afford. When I travel, I try I stay at least 4-5 month working or studying in the country. Not to move around and visit all the cities but to know as deep as I can the local culture and to empathize with the citizens (even if I have to stay in the same village the whole time). My dream is to have a job who doesn’t tie me to a country so I can live in one different country every year.

PHILOSOPHY

Test everything, be flexible with everything, give your best on everything, get relax and don't stay too much time in the same place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Going to meeting events and hosting eventually.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was living in Greece doing a volunteering for six month. Because I didn't speak Greek, I needed to find people who spoke English, so I went to a couple of CS meetings and it was so interesting and I met so many people that I started to hosting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Breakdance in the middle of the highway asking for money to buy hotdogs (I don't know how to dance, but I got some money).
One day I was bored to live in Spain, that in the same morning I bought a plane to Thailand and came here to live. My whole life changed in two weeks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really want to learn martial arts and yoga.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Life is so random and I try so hard to control it. But I can't. I can teach my hosts how to try to control their life without success.
