ABOUT ME

I'm adventurous, open-minded, ready for anything interesting, love to explore the world and learn about people and different cultures. I've traveled a bit over the past few years, but was thirsty for more. I had relocated to France one year ago to pursue a career in wine, and have a new experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and having a truly local experience, and not a typical touristic one. Meeting locals is one of the richest travel experiences I have had so far.

Interests

I get easily excited about things, like exploring cities, enjoying great food, looking at art, architecture, meeting new and interesting people... I feel that life is all about experiences. My goal is to live life and enjoy it as much as I can, and have a positive impact on the world around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting a job in finance after a 10-year career to travel the world for almost 2 years. Moving to Bordeaux to start a new career in wine. Skydiving over volcanoes in New Zealand, watching WTC towers collapsing on 9/11 from 5 blocks away.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel stories, new perspective, pleasant conversations.
