Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm available to surf, to coach, and for everything that's necessary!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Prague, and, so far, the only one!!! Nevertheless I met many persons that are also in couchsurfing and I travelled together with many of them!!

Interests

Travelling, meeting new people and cultures, music, photography and sports. I'm developing more and more my interest in yoga and its philosophy and learning to play ukulele, a small musical instrument that can change our mood in any moment of day!
