About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learning while teaching...teaching while learning!

ABOUT ME

I am generally interested in people from different cultural backgrounds and their stories. I am interested in how life is different around the globe (trying to find out what life could be all about). My passion is music (from classical music to hard rock)! I like to play the violin, the guitar and all kinds of percussion instruments.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day as if it were your last!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the idea of conecting people who seem to look for the same thing: getting in touch with others and share experiences. It's great not only to have a place to stay while couchsurfing but also to get to know locals who can tell you something about their place and make you experience it in a different way compared to somebody who just books a hotel and reads his tourist guide.
