About Me

I am a fiction writer who is currently writing a short-story book. My style is a little bit difficult to define. I mix some comedy, fantasy, mild science fiction, politics, and a little bit of drama.
I am also getting a Master in Translation. I love to learn new languages, I want to travel and I would love to sign off from civilization for a while, so I would love to learn camping, hunting, and survival skills to live in the wild and reconnect with nature for some time.
I love reading and I also like playing some videogames.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly because I think it is a more honest way of traveling. I want to get a taste of how it feels to live in another place and not just get the feeling of being a tourist who doesn't know anything about life.
I won't lie and pretend that I am supersociable, because I am a little bit shy, and sometimes I can be socially awkward, but once I get comfortable with people I really love to listen to their stories and learn from them, so I think couchsurfing is a great way to connect with people you wouldn't have the chance to meet otherwise.
