About Me

The only easy day was yesterday. Sua Sponte. Love getting challenged.
A Journey of Exploration and Discovery made me strong.
Creative, happy, strong, caring, active, trying to be well-behaved;)

One thing I know is that I know nothing.
I am usually a planner, yet sometimes I spontaneously go for a trip for a week or a week end.
Live it well:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine told me about the site in 2013.
I would like to host and meet good people, maybe surf sometimes.

I have some experience surfing and accepting requests, no experience hosting yet;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 21, I decided to swim in the ocean while https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Gustav_(2002) was passing by the shore.

The sea was wild, I guess I wanted to prove something, show the sea who's boss and the like. I got sucked in by the rip-tide, lost contact with the shore for a few minutes as the ground was taken by the waves.

Finally I swam sideways, found a place where I could stand, rest and somehow came back.
A friend of mine was standing on the shore, scared but didn't know what to do. Well, I wasn't calling for help (trying to maintain my image I guess) so I don't blame him.

It taught me to respect the elements, we're not the strongest thing in the universe:)
