I'm a very curious, positive and easy going person. I'm quite excited when it comes to discovering new things. I am very open minded and love to understand other ways to think.
I am a big music listener, mostly jazz/groove/instrumental/world but I have very eclectic tastes!
I like to walk randomly in cities and discover unexpected places. I would say I'm a contemplative traveler, I love to just explore and watch, feel, smell, listen...
I love everything linked to culture, if possible underground or at least different from the usual/not mainstream.
I love food. And wine. And port, whiskey, old rum. Especially with a piece of chocolate :)
I like spending time at thrift/vintage stores.
I love people that laugh and are positive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and exchange stories! My way to travel is to meet people and share experiences, if possible away from the usual touristic activities! Also, I prefer 1,000 times a couch at someone's local who I can hang out with rather than a hotel room!
