About Me

Isn't too complicated to describe yourself with few words? I guess what it matters for this network is that I enjoy to travel a lot and discover different cultures. I have been living in three continents already (Europe, America and Asia) and traveled to many other places, so it is kinda part of my DNA. During the day I try to focus on my work and my professional career, but then if the opportunity comes out I like to spend time with friends and discover new streets, places, hidden corners etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would like to try a new way of traveling and willing to meet awesome local people to share the in-the-place culture with them. Also, since I am a frequent traveler, I can help travelers to know more local places and share cool stories together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleep in a Mongolian ger with a real Mongolian family! Being part of a live Chinese talk show without expecting it. Being homeless in Dubai for 24 hours before catching the next flight, wondering through the Geisha streets in Kyoto and then find my way to Tokyo, riding from Vietnam to Thailand and surviving the Full Moon Party, assisting last minute to a Coldplay concert in Taipei, watching live Linkin Park in Beijing and Metallica in Costa Rica, going to a lost island with two volcanoes in Nicaragua, having many half-dollar mojitos in La Habana, getting so-so close to North Korea in the DMZ , spending more than 27 hours in a train to HK and then walk less than 5 minutes distance from a Buddist temple, a Catholic church and a Muslim Mosque in Malaysia, and waiting for more..
