About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Know the world and other cultures!

ABOUT ME

I am an easygoing person, who likes to meet new people and getting to know new cultures. After my trip to Japan I finally realized that there is so much to be discovered in this world, and that the friends we make and the places we know is the only thing that really makes a difference in our lives.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn from personal experiences, and from new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first time trying couchsurfing. I think this is going to be a good experience, first because I always have friends or friends of friends crashing in my place, and second I think the best way to experience a new culture is to hangout with people with different background.
