About Me

I'd love to discover the world and its many cultures

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm virtually active in the CS project by spreading this wonderful idea the more that I can.
I may host sometimes, and I'm always happy to know people in front of a good coffee or beer.
If you'd like to cook a simple dish from your country, I'd be even happier!

Joined several CS-Montreal and CS-Rome meetings, surfed a couch in Quebec, Rio and Bangkok, hosted people in Rome.

Currently, I'm involved in the project of getting to know Rome and its multiple faces and neighborhoods by surfing the couch of roman CSers. Wanna help me??
