About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Entertain, make things happen, create and love.

ABOUT ME

I am a happy go-lucky type of guy, with lots of enthusiasm, optimism and passion. I love being myself and enjoy good friendships and meaningful relationships. I consider myself creative and fun to be around. I love experiencing life in all its beauty and seek adventures, make movies, read and love.

PHILOSOPHY

In other words...
Just be cool, enjoy life as it is and don't try to take control over it, let go, learn to grow and make a difference. Smile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just by being myself, and to go with the flow.
By putting myself out of my comfort zone and meet and interact with other people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few people and some of them became very good friends even outside CouchSurfing.

I also love getting to know people and find out how they live in their own space, the type of art they enjoy, what kind of furniture they have, what type of ingredients have in their cupboards. I think it is fascinating to discover how we all are so different but at the same time how many things we have in common.

I believe that in life everything can change according to your attitude, sense of adaptation,flexibility and 0 expectations, if you approach life this way you'll never be unhappy.

I adore meeting people and then living with them, when this happen it is magic, there is some kind of snap, some kind of inner connection that make two people like each other. Some of the people I love the most are the ones I encountered in my life randomly and who have made a huge impact in my life and in my spirit, I hope I did the same with them too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkeling with a shark and a sea turtle.
Surfing, skiing, living in London without understanding English and learning it. :)
Becoming an animator, because animation is magic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think we all have to learn from each other and be humble. To learn to become a better person is one of the greatest thing I can achieve in my life.

I believe in the foundation of this community and the common purpose that holds everyone of us together as a big family. Traveling and challenging yourself is a very simple but sophisticated art, because when we pretend we know all the answers we just realize that there is so much to learn and be inspired from.

I love traveling because it makes you start from the beginning, it takes you out of your comfort zone and changes your prospective about life, people, expectations, assumptions. I am amazed every time I see something I had never seen before, it is like watching the world for the first time again.
