About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a Marketing Project Manager that just returned to Toronto to live and work there. Traveling several times a year to discover new places, cultures and peeps ! I'm a true globe trotter.

ABOUT ME

What interests me when i'm meeting new people it's the dialog that we build, the respect, the share of values and ideas.

I am a sharp person who is interested in everything, do not judge hastily and listen to the others.

I see life like a game where we are all at the same time actor and observer, however it is necessary to take risk, to dare etc... if not life's not worthing it.

PHILOSOPHY

NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO the pursuit of happiness !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just returned to Canada June 2019, for now I'm traveling but one I get settled somewhere I'll definitely host you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a couch surfer since September 2011, when i decided to travel all over Italy on my own. That was my first couch surfing experience, it lasted for a month, it was extraordinary !!! People who hosted me have been very kind & welcoming. Those people made me learn much more about their country that i could have never imagined. They recommended me places that i would never thought or find in any books because they were typical of each region that i had visited. After this first experience, I promessed to myself to carry on travelling in this way all my life and since i'll get settled somewhere, i'll welcome people anytime.

Interests

I'm a great traveler, i'm an epicurean, i like to talk with everyone. i'm curious, optimistic, like sports (mostly running, swimming and all rackets sports), reading books and watching movies in different languages. I can't live without music, I love drawing, taking pictures, theater (i've done improvisation classes), arts (exhibitions), walking and loosing myself in the discovery of a city, helping people in need, take time to learn new things, love challenges ;)

As regards food, i love Asian, indian, african, lebanese, french, italian, spanish, portuguese, in brief all types of food :)
I love wine & beers from all over the world !!!
