About Me

I am a passionate environmentalist and enjoy people´s company immensely. I love to talk about politics, current economic issues, and banal subjects too. In short, I consider myself an easy going person curious about learning from other people, specially those thinking differently than me! Travelling is of course about eating, drinking and sharing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to travel and stay in real places with real people. Locals´advice is by far better than any travel guide -- although I always keep one with me ,-).
