About Me

"I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in." - Virginia Woolf

I love meeting people in the street. I love serendipity. I live the moment, and I think that's why I've never had a smartphone. So when I'm with you I promise you'll have my entire attention ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very interested in the ideas behind the "degrowth" movement. I'm positive these alternative ways of travelling like CS offer the perfect opportunity to leave our comfort zone and explore and better understand other cultures and realities. I love traveling in this way because every time I do it people inspire me with their stories and alternative lifestyles to the consumer society!!
