ABOUT ME
I'm a person that is constantly learning about my experiences and other's. I like to make friends but I take friendship very seriously because many people have desappointed me.
I like to meet people from other cultures and ask a lot about them.
People say I'm funny but I'm not so sure about it.
I like to share my time with friends but I'm a contemplative person and sometimes I need to be alone.
PHILOSOPHY
Brick walls are there to show you how much you want something.
Tolerance, that's it. Respect yourself and others.
Patience. There is a time for everything.
Don't abuse of my kindness, if I find you do, you will instantly dissapear from my universe. I don't like confrontation.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm an active surfer!! I consider that the best way of participate as a surfer is to be polite, help and try to keep the house you are staying neat and clean.
I'm not an invasive person and I understand that my host is not there for me all the time. I expect to spend time with my host if he/ she can. That's the best part of the experience: THE EXCHANGE. But I prefer to be "invisible" if I see my host is busy; my "mission" there is not bother you. Sometimes, if the time and the money allow, I try to cook for my host or invite then a drink. I find that as one way to say "thank you".
It's hard for me to participate as a host since my house is very small I don't have a "couch" for tourits. We are 4 people in a app with 3 bedrooms, it's not big enough; but I can show people my city and welcome them with a cup of coffee.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've traveled alone to Paris and the experience was new, I didn't know what to expect; I'm not used to trust people I don't know. Then I traveled to the north of France and I knew very interesting and nice people from CS. I feel it helped to learn more, and the experience tauch me there are people that wants to give you a hand without asking anything in return.
Since that first time until now I've been doing CS everywhere. The experience is amazing! Such a nice and friendly people on the road! I had fun, I've learnt a lot, I shared my culture, I've discovered new things, I broke myth about some cultures. All because of CS.
I'll keep on doing CS in order to learn more from people and show them my culture too.
Interests
I like traveling, learning languages, reading...
I really enjoin communicating with people that have interesting things to say or tell.
I'm a friendly person, sometimes I'm lazy but if I'm motivated I can do anything.

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a sommelier so we can talk about wine; and I've also learnt about tea but I'm not a tea sommelier practitioner.
I can teach you boxing... I'm good at it!
I had some experiences in life but not everybody wants to listen.
I prefer listen to others AND LEARN FROM THEM.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good talk, good drinks and good food. With me it's always about the quality of the products we are consuming and sharing.
