Simple, frank, direct and curious. I like to meet new people, as well as different cultures. Travel is going beyond the touristic guides, it's to discover the local nuances according to your expectations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Started with CS when I met some CSers during my trips: different people from all over the world. So, I decided to enjoy CS. I could meet a lot of nice people and enjoy awesome moments and experiences, through a local perspective in a different place.
