I'm an explorer, an adventure lover and a routine hater. Of all things in life that I enjoy I think that, in the end, my favourite one is to learn, and I can't stand the idea of feeling stuck and not moving forward, so I trust my insticts and I'll go wherever my heart tells me to. I love getting lost in new cities, walking in the nature, animals, art, food, and meeting cool, passionate, interesting people.
I'm lucky enough to make a living of one of my passions, which is tattooing, but I don't like to feel like a human printer, to me it's all about sharing something and perpetuating a moment on skin in the form of art. Please no more infinity symbols!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Working once as a tourist guide and having contact with so many great people from all parts of the globe ignited my drive to pack and go even more. I want not just to travel, but to get imersed in diferent cultures, be a local, seize opportunities, work, get out of my confort zone, to learn, to live and to feel. I love to travel as much as I take pleasure in being a hospitable host, and I value respect and gratitude. Couchsurfing for me is about sharing.
