Having an italian-venezuelan-german background, multiculturalism is part of my DNA and something I have always considered a great and valuable gift (I feel attracted to different cultures and people by nature so to speak ;)), music is my one big love (especially classical music) and besides another wonderful way to discover a foreign country's culture, I am a total lazy person when it comes to social media and prefer real life conversations over a good meal or nice cup of tea, coffee or a glass of wine, I am sociable and sometimes tend to be a bit unorganized, have a thousand things on my mind and am always striving to enjoy life to its fullest !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

mostly to meet and get in touch with locals to get know the place I am staying at from their perspective, to get to know the cities I am traveling beyond the touristic facade , make new friends & meet travel buddies who love & share the company of new acquaintances as much as I do, to cut a long story short, to have an amazing cultural experience by experiencing their`s and sharing mine ;)
