About Me

I'm a curious traveler and adventurer who sees every place as an opportunity to learn and connect with amazing people. I love exploring nature, diving into different cultures, and getting lost in deep conversations. More than just a tourist, I see myself as an explorer—always seeking real experiences and meaningful interactions.

I'm an easygoing, adaptable person with an open mind. I enjoy my alone time just as much as I love sharing moments with others—whether it’s through art, outdoor adventures, or simply exchanging perspectives on life. What Makes Me a Good Guest/Host

For me, the human connection is the best part of traveling. I genuinely appreciate those who open their homes and hearts, and I try to do the same when I host. I love listening, learning from different perspectives, and collaborating on creative projects. I'm respectful of spaces, bring good energy, and always aim to leave something positive behind.

If you host me, you can expect someone who values the little things, enjoys deep conversations, and is always open to creating something meaningful—whether through art, storytelling, or a shared experience. And if I host you, I’ll do my best to make you feel at home and inspire a memorable exchange.

My Connection to Art

Art is one of the ways I connect with the world. Whenever I have the chance, I love contributing to murals, paintings, or creative projects. If you have an idea in mind, let’s talk—I’m always up for collaborating on something special. Who knows? Maybe we can create something incredible together.

Experiences That Define My Travel Spirit

My travels have been a mix of exploration and creativity. I’ve hiked mountains where every step taught me resilience, hitchhiked my way into unexpected conversations, and shared moments with local families who showed me new ways of seeing the world.

I’ve also traveled by bike, using platforms like Warm Showers, which allowed me to connect with people on a deeper level. What I cherish the most are not just the places but the people—their stories, their ways of life, and the unique perspectives they share.

What I Enjoy Sharing With Others

Great conversations about life, art, travel, and anything thought-provoking.

Outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, and cycling.

Exploring creative projects, from murals to experimental art.

Yoga, meditation, and anything that helps us stay present.

Freediving training for those who want to dive (literally) into something new.

An Open Invitation

If we share the same vision of the world, I’d love to meet you. What I love about Couchsurfing is the spontaneity of crossing paths with people we would never have met otherwise. If you host me or stay with me, it won’t just be a place to sleep—it will be an experience to remember.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling isn’t just about visiting places—it’s about connecting with people, sharing experiences, and seeing the world through different perspectives. Couchsurfing allows me to step beyond the usual tourist experience and truly engage with the culture of every place I visit.

I love meeting open-minded people, exchanging stories, and learning from each other. Whether it's a deep conversation over a drink, an outdoor adventure, or even collaborating on an art project, I believe every encounter has something valuable to offer.

Hosting or being hosted is more than just a place to stay—it's about creating meaningful moments, building friendships, and making the world feel a little smaller and more connected.

If we cross paths, let’s make it an experience worth remembering!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once found myself deep in the mountains, far from any town, with no clear way back. Instead of stressing, I embraced the adventure—hitchhiking with strangers, walking under the stars, and experiencing the kindness of people along the way. That journey reminded me that the best moments happen when you let go and trust the road.

Every trip has had its magic—whether it's freediving into the unknown, painting a mural in a new city, or sharing a spontaneous adventure with people I just met. The most amazing things aren’t just about the places but the stories they create.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I love sharing what I know about freediving, breathing techniques, and mindfulness. If you're interested in pushing your limits underwater or just learning to breathe better, I’d be happy to train together. I also enjoy creating art—especially murals and paintings—so if you have a creative project in mind, let's make it happen!

Learn: I'm always eager to learn from others—whether it’s a new skill, a different way of seeing the world, or just an interesting story. I’m especially curious about local cultures, philosophies, and anything that sparks deep conversations.

Share: Good moments, deep talks, spontaneous adventures, and a sense of curiosity about the world. Whether it's a walk through the city, a hike in nature, or just enjoying a simple moment together, I believe the best experiences are the ones we share.
