Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The more I host, the more I’m speechless to express how a wonderful idea & a great experience CS is. There is no word to say how amazing it is to meet so many different persons, to share ideas, pieces of life, laugh…

My first experience as a guest was in Lisboa & I met there more than hosts, but friends, who made me feel home, who shared their love for life, their differences, their dreams…
Couchsurfing is that: caring about people, caring about life. Thanks is not even enough :)

Interests

I'm interested by social issues, yoga, scuba diving, sea horses & jellyfishes, Contemporary Culture, art & theatre... cooking... I do love countryside, desert, bird singing, improvisations & changes...
