About Me

Communicative, active, great listener, always excited about new things and experiences)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because couchsurfing allows us to see the world differently, not from the window of a touristic bus, but from the inside. It's very fascinating to see how people live in other countries and it helps us to understand why we are sometimes so different)

Interests

Travelling.
Moving to Europe allowed me to start travel a lot by hitchhiking. I have visited Austria, Hungary, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Ukraine, Spain, Luxembourg, Turkey... And don't intend to stop!

Languages.
I teach English to adults and I also keep learning languages myself. Right now French is my main target, then I will probably switch to Spanish. Traveling seems even more amazing when you understand what people on the streets are talking about!

Standing on the edge, looking at Gorges du Verdon and not having words to express my feelings.
Reaching the ocean by hitchhiking and laying on the amazing Dune du Pilat :)
