About Me

Traveling is my passion. I have been traveling with my family since I was a little child, and in every place we visited we tried to learn as much as possible about local culture.
We have been hosting exchange students from Japan for a couple of years at our apartment. I also was an exchange student in other countries several times: in Japan(1 month) , the USA(1 year) and Chile(1 year). During my exchange years I stayed at host families, so I have a lot of experience of communicating with foreign people.
Now I travel more on my own, or with the couple of friends. I am eager to visit as many places as I can. Fortunately I have been learning languages since childhood and it helps me a lot.
For any further information you are welcome to write me and I will be glad to respond ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
