ABOUT ME

Extrovert, polite and full of enthusiasm. Passionate about what I love, and about what you love, if you are passionate too. Keen on meeting new people and cultures (if that's something well-defined). Amused by people who live unconventionally travelling the world. Teacher. Curious. Respecting any form of existence and trying to be positive with people and circumstances. Love learning languages and lingustics, the philosophy behind language.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to increase the chances of getting to know someone new. In today's society, that's not the easiest thing. As simple as that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ice-hole swimming in -20 degrees

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning something from every person I meet and spend time with. I love learning languages and generally talking about cultures and ways of understanding and expression. I enjoy challenging my beliefs and prior knowledge by talking with people, having a dialogue. I like learning any practical skills and things I can do with my hands. I can teach piano, the languages I speak, sewing.. beyong the formality of the word teaching, I can share any knowledge or experience I have, by being open. Also, I love listening to stories other people have lived.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For the time being, my company, many smiles, and an open mind, I hope.
