About Me

*****
Just moved to Madrid and looking forward to host once I settle down! However for now I would like to meet new people, especially with locals here.

-- Pls don't send me messages with the intention of a date, go use Tinder instead. Anyways I'll never be responding!

CURRENT MISSION

Making the transition...

ABOUT ME

I'm an explorer, a traveller, a backpacker, a hitch-hiker, a blogger, and an urban planner =) I'm quite an easy person to talk to and pretty tolerated to all kind of people. What I'm not?? I'm definitely not a racist, not homophobic, not stupid or not a closed minded person.

I like to listen good music (live if possible), taste delicious food around the world (Italian food is my favourite) and sometimes learn how to cook them myself. I love my friends, love to getting know different lives and cultures, making more friends and good stories, drinking and partying with fun people and learning something new every day. (:

PHILOSOPHY

'If you wait too long for the perfect moment, the perfect moment will pass you by.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people as much as I can and I surf people's couches when I am traveling :)
Also attending some CS events time to time..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been about 9 years since I found about this site and collected many great memories with the people that I've met through here. However, I think the whole thing is getting worse and worse with all the recent changes on the website unfortunately..

I just hope that if it's gonna grow more at least it will continue to grow with REAL travellers from everywhere around the world and/or with people who really love travelling and sharing... (hoping won't hurt :)
