About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Letting South America conquer me!

ABOUT ME

I am a free spirit. Or maybe a lost soul. I don't quite know who I am right now - maybe that's why I am starting backpacking. I tried drawing myself on a piece of paper but I couldn't finish it. I don't know what colour I should use to draw my body with. So I guess I'm going to South America to find my colours - I was told there's a lot out there.

Other than this, I am a pretty normal person.I like spending time by myself and think about them most absurd stuff to, eventually, write about it. When I have the right pen in my hand. But in order to write and find food for thoughts, I resort to the richest source of stories to me: people. They trigger my curiosity. So I believe this makes me a sociable person and quite balances off my sort of occasionally introverted personality.

I crave experiences. I love stories. I respect people. I learn from backgrounds. I have plenty of spirit of adaptation. I can be a good fun buddy and someone to talk to - also with strangers.

I am not an hypocrite - I haven't gt enough time to be one! I'm not bitchy though, and I would never be devious to anyone.

I want to make the most out of this experience, and I hope you will help me! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Changes all the time. DAMN.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have known about couch-surfing for a long time, but I've probably been a couch-potato for much longer :)

Only kidding - but I have felt a bit of a slave from working studying etc. So, Ive never really done it before I went to Argentina!
Since then.. I am all on it! (Whenever my superbusy schedule allows me to).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed couches in Argentina (Buenos Aires and Mendoza)and had the privilege to find AMAZING like-minded people, platonic love and great friends :)

I am now hosting travellers from all over the world in London when possible, to help them find a place to crush but also some good people to talk to, to hang out with, to share food and.. our all favourite CUP OF TEA.
