Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When entering the working live after university I started to discover the world beyond Europe. CS helped me in many occastions to get connected quickly to the mentality and the place in an easy going way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am open to hosting and being hosted, and had some nice experience. But mainly I just meet up for a coffe or a walk or partying together. I am particularly happy when getting real buddies over CS to do a mix of cultural things, eating good local food and party / concert / dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was hiking in the Vale do Paty in the Chapada Diamantina natural reserve, Brazil. Short time before I arrived back at the cottage (house) where I would sleep, night suddenly fell down and I walked through a field with billions of glowworms... Magic!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to improve my dancing skills if you like to train together.
I want to improve some of my language skills (currently, my french is very rusty)
I´d love to learn chinese / thai massage and I am a big fan of receiving it.
