About Me

A wanderer and a wonderer. A rolling stone, gathering no moss.

I can't live without traveling, sun, coffee, books, sport, music, some portion of adrenalin and a good wine or a beer.
I can't live in a routine, neither in a dead cycle of working-consuming, nor in a country where low temperatures prevail.

People around me describe me as passionate, adventurous, courageous, ambitious, stubborn, direct, not always diplomatic and definitely not always quiet. All in all very special ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

"A ship in a harbour is safe, but this is not what a ship is built for..."

"€œPerhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing is an amazing project where you meet up with a total stranger and leave a friend....
