Overview
About Me
It's a bit hard for me to say in few words something about myself since I don't feel that age, nationality or career really represent you. I don't really believe in a fixed self either, it has so much to do with who you share with, the moment of your life you're through or even the place or weather haha so I'll prefer to tell you how I get to be in this place in my life haha
Right before I was getting my degree I realized that I never really questioned the life I was having, that there must have been many possibilities I wasn't aware of and I wanted to go out there and explore them. Willing to get rid of some structures, prejudices and social pressures I grew up with, I decided to pack my backpack and although I was very scared, more than three years and a half ago I started walking. In the way I was very interested in the different ways of living and because of that I've asked uncountable amount of questions to people I've met and red about culture, people habits, religions, spirituality and I feel that that helped me to open up my mind.
About what I like doing: when I travelled around India I became a yoga teacher. Yoga and meditation gave me so much that I love sharing it with others, it's a gift to the soul. I enjoy a lot talking with people, exchanging ideas and keep on learning, I feel that every person that comes into our life is a teacher and I try to appreciate it. However, I don't want to stick into the mind so I feel it's equally important and we must not forget to laugh, play, dance and remember life is to be enjoyed :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been in many countries in the world and I feel absolutely lucky and thankful for having the possibility of living this experience but the biggest gift that traveling gave me is the people. Although I've been around many places, religions and cultures, I've found absolutely loving and amazing people no matter where I went and that's one of the reasons why I choose couchsurfing. People showed me how beautiful human being can be and how much easier and meaningful life is when we share it.
