A simple living person. I love discovering new countries, cities, visit their main attractions, go off the beaten path and of course meet new people and share unforgettable moments with them. I first started traveling alone in 2014 in Kenya. I was volunteering for 3 weeks and then the year after, I decided to travel to South Africa for 6 weeks for volunteering again.

I am autistic and actually it never prevented me from doing anything; I have an awesome job most people wouldn't do as an ironworker, I like to run marathons and half marathons once or twice a year, I love to take my backpack and go on an adventure by myself that is not all planned...
At this point, being autistic is not a burden for me, but more like a source of motivation to keep going further.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
