Overview
About Me
I want to explore and (try to) understand the world. I studied International Relations in order to have a comprehensive view of the world. Studies were good for it but, definitely, I have learned more from travelling.
I wanted to travel since I was a child but I left my country for the first time at 18. My life has changed drastically since then. I just can't stay in one place for a long time. When I travel my favorite activity is to walk and get lost around the city, get to the most common/regular point of the place and just watch people passing by; this is the way I feel I am really capturing the essence of the place. Landmarks are nice but don't get my attention the way they used to when I started traveling. Food is very important as well, an exciting path to get to know a culture.
My first adventure was in 2012, I spent the summer in the house of a friend in Osnabrück, Germany and traveled a bit around Europe. The last two summers I worked and traveled in New Zealand and New York respectively. During 2015 I studied in The Hague, Netherlands. Currently I am pursuing a travel that might make me stay on the road for long time.
I am very open minded. Everyone has something interesting to say. I'm always up for a party but also enjoy the quiet time.
*I had another CS account but I had some trouble with my email address so I had to create this new one, unfortunately I lost lots of contacts and a few reviews. I used CS for the first time in 2011.
