About Me

I´m a entrepreneur in my country and USA, Yoga lover !
Discovering the unknown, testing boundaries, going out of comfort zone, pushing limits... I think self-growth and realization comes from these things, not from patting yourself on the back. I like receiving negative feedback much rather than a positive one.
So these things pique my interest and I am hungry for as-yet-unlived experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to learn how travel without hotel silent rooms, meet new persons, new cultures and expand my mind.
I frequently travel for pleasure and work. I like spending my leisure time in the places that I've never been to. I like getting lost in the backstreets of the cities that I am visiting. Although I require some alone time, I'm also extremely sociable and I like meeting new people. I like feeling like a "global citizen" and having a global network consists of people I really / truly / honestly like.
So if I'm in your town I won't be asking you to crash at your place but possibly I'll contact you to meet up to exchange stories over a cup of coffee or a glass of beer (if we're in France or Italy I can go for some wine too). If you are in my town I would like to meet up for the same reasons (now I can offer a couch to crush on as well). Also I was a "stranger" in more than one countries and I think I have a knack in making people feel adequate and comfortable in uncharted territories.
