It's difficult to describe oneself but I'd like to say that I am an altruist person who dreams to change the world into something better, spreading love and peace all over it, caring about nature, environment and people!

Philosophy:
✓ Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu (Sanskrit mantra meaning 'May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.')
✓ Carpe Diem
✓ "Stay hungry. Stay foolish."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been in this Community for almost ten years, both hosting/surfing and meeting up with travellers.
I can't access my account after the pandemics, so I'm creating a new one...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the art of teaching. I've dedicated many years to teaching Physics, Chemistry and Maths to high-school students. That may not seem so interesting to many, haha!
Anyway, what I want to emphasize is that I love teaching whatever I get to learn. For instance, I am now learning about music and how to play the guitar and I enjoy showing my friends, family or whomever is interested what I know so far.
