About Me

Welcome Home!

I'm a simple human being with an open heart, everlasting energy, and good vibes, I love the sunshine and taking time for breakfast. I never stop questioning, curiosity is my reason to live, I'm fascinated by human beings and their lives, I enjoy connecting with inspiring individuals and learning about other cultures, I adore candles, flowers, palm trees and authentic souls who live from the heart.

I'm keen on organic markets, secondhand shops, and handicraft, I really enjoy reading interesting books, sleeping outside in the nature, snorkeling, eating fruit and on the hot days, I like to go to the beach.

I’m inspired by wandering, exploring and spending time watching people’s expressions, observing their interactions. I like to listen with my eyes and speaking with my hands. I enjoy dreaming with open eyes, cooking for everybody and singing in many different languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm fascinated with people that I don't know, I want to get a window into their life.

Traveling for me is a wonderful mash of culture, custom, chaos, serenity, taste, spice, confusion and charm.

Time is precious, what we do with our time is one of the most powerful tools we have. I want to use my time wisely and to look back on meaningful events with the people I love. That would be a good life for me.

Interests

I love getting lost hitchhiking around the world, being picked up by the unknown and unfolding instant connections with humanity. The moments of waiting in the middle of the road, exchanging eye contact or gestures with locals are the feelings and emotions I enjoy the most.

Sometimes I lose myself with my camera, following light and expressions, capturing irreplaceable moments. Through my eyes, I honor the beauty of earthly beings and places, transforming genuine instants into memories. I remain endlessly fascinated by how a single frame can hold light forever, just as it was once seen.

I advocate radical inclusivity and visceral generosity, valuing integrity, affection, freedom, and kindness. I’m nourished by the wild, enjoying amazing landscapes surrounded by wonders of nature, visiting bookshops wherever I go, chasing sunsets by the water, listening to the waves crash on the shore, walking barefoot and smiling at strangers are experiences that fill me with joy. At the end of the day, we all snore in the same language.

I strongly believe in community and living on fresh food encircled by nature, sharing everything and anything, where people can have a great time all day long enjoying the beauty of simple living.

Avocado and Mango lover!
