Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all, because I like meeting people with different cultural backgrounds. It's also where I can find people willing to answer all the questions I have about a place from a local point of view. So far, I've got good feedback. I've met other couchsurfers and had a great time hanging out or hosting them.
I can also give some advice to whom may need it.

Teach, Learn, Share

- I might be able to host you regardless of where I am.
- I can teach any of the three languages I speak on my daily life. I want to learn others and improve the ones in which I'm at beginner level.
- I can take pictures too! (And if I take a picture of you, you'll end up using it as your profile picture here or any other social media, believe me! I actually should think of starting a career on profile pics for people, no kidding).
- I can also give you some advice regarding the places I've lived in and visited.
- At last, but not least: Let's share music!
