About Me

I'm half architect half dreamer. I love to listen people and when possible give my opinion. I like to wander and get lost in cities, visit museums/expos, go to theater and cinema, do some sport, chill and I love traveling, I do it as often as possible. We have so many different cultures around us and we don't know them well :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I do not have a huge experience in CS, every time I've done it has been just wonderful. First time I was really impressed because, when I arrived, my first host told me "here's your keys, if you're hungry feel free to grab something, if you want to do something just call me" I couldn't believe it!
The thing is that, you can find not only a new culture but also a way of living completely different, how to speak, how to treat people, what to eat, how to take the bus, to count, how to buy a bread etc.... we must feel lucky having such an experience in front of us!

I stayed:
@ Rebecca's flat in Munich - Aug 09
Martha's flat in Vienna - Sept 09
Chez Berenger in Montpellier - Aug 09
Chez Sathya in Athens - Apr 10

I hosted:
Deb from Portugal - feb 10
Gemma and Zara from Scotland - Mar 10
Alice from Paris - Jul 10

no regrets about it!

Interests
