ABOUT ME

To say all about someone seems too greedy...let's just start saying I like traveling, drinking a little bit of beer or wine, and meeting friends. If you can do all of this at the same time, then life is perfect! I love nature and the ocean (duh, marine biologist here...) and can spend hours on a hammock, in front of the sea, thinking and reading. Little pleasures: collecting old postcards, having my feet buried in the sand, people watching, and my first cup of coffee in the morning (black, one spoon of sugar).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Regain hope on the world by meeting beautiful people.
