ABOUT ME

my adventurous heart is born the first time I took a plane, from this time on I can't stop discovering more the beauty of our planet, meet amazing people and learn another way of life.
I studied martial arts when I was a kid for more than a decade, it was my first passion and it creates the link between me and Asian culture.
After some competition and hard training, I hurt my body and was asked to rest, at that moment I took my first dance class and it changed my life!
I never stop dancing from that day, and I love to share this experience with everybody interested in it.
In Shanghai China, I managed a dance studio for many years and i often travel the planet to assist and participate in the master's workshops, this is what creates a sparkle of joy in my heart.

PHILOSOPHY

getting better every day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's one of the best ways to meet new people, get to learn about the local's life and enrich my experience of the world. Also, it allowed knowing more about this world even if you are not wealthy. We all have something to learn from somebody else, just need to have an open mind.

I already visited Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Serbia Herzegovina, Romania, Greece, Albania and Croatia with the help of CouchSurfing friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

one night after a party with some friends, i heard some very strange noise. Once i checked around me , i figured out that it was a cat on a tree. i grabed and i piled all dustbin that i found in the street to make a kind of 4 meters stairs to acces to the cat and liberate him from where he can't jump coz it was too high.
