About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go, look, feel and participate. Have compassion and œEnjoy yourself, it's later then you think.

ABOUT ME

I like to meet people and cultures different from mine. It's nice to hear their point of view of the world and life and when we have time, to discuss the differences and similarities.
The most interesting way of traveling for me is on the ground by car, bus ,train or boat. But sometimes you need a plane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed the couch of several people (see my friends) and in several countries, it was a very good experience. I hope I can meet them again. Some people surfed my couch and it was always a very interesting meeting.
