Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling, meeting locals. When hosting, another way of keep always traveling :)
In my opinion CS isn't just a website for finding cheap accommodation, but another manifestation of kindness; a way of materializing the giving without expecting.

I've been a member of CS for several years already and my experience is pretty awesome so far.

Interests

Love traveling and I feel blessed that actually it literally became a way of life for me. A wanderer interested in nature, psicology and sports such snowboarding, crossfit, tennis and pádel mainly. Social work, social life, outdoor activities, photography, epic shit and countless things. A renaissance profile can be quite accurate to describe myself.
