I'm a guy in love with photography, music and traveling. I went to student exchanges in Italy and South Korea and an internship in Hungary, then working in Tokyo, now in Singapore.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

In 2009 we were sleeping under a tree during Suwalki Blues festival, but next day a friend of mine offered me to join him surfing a couch. That's how it started...

The major reason I'm on CS is that it brings back my faith in the humankind. Some of the people I've met here changed my perception of the world. Most of the CS people are people I see the world thriving with. There is a ton of stuff to learn from oldschool couchsurfers - one will not be the same again after CS. Also CS develops social trust, so much needed in our lives.

However, one has to keep in mind that CS is not a free hostel network and we should not make it one. Every guest should provide something for the host - will it be stories, teaching something, a laugh or time spent well together.
