CURRENT MISSION

Becoming a better person than yesterday

ABOUT ME

Hi there. I love traveling, discovering new places and meeting new people from all over the world. I like to share good moments and I hope there will still be a lot more. I've found much meaning and value in the care I've received from people and I wish I could return the favor of the gift that keeps on giving...

PHILOSOPHY

Never do things half-heartedly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people, sharing stories and experiences, and just spending a nice time together... 一期一会 (this is a way in Japan to express a feeling like you should take care of every moment when you meet someone for it may not come again, a bit like "once in a lifetime")

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly in China and Europe where many beautiful people shared the gift that keeps giving: kindness and sharing the joy of little surprises...

Interests

Travelling around the world, living abroad, learning new languages, tasting local food, discovering new sounds... experiencing the magic (e)motion of the dancing star dust that we're all made of :D

• dining
• traveling
• languages
