"It is only by stepping out of your life and the world, that you can see what you most deeply care about and find a home."
Pico Iyer

I am a passionate globetrotter, a freelance Tourist Guide, French Translator and Teacher.
Certified Personal Fitness Trainer and Spinning Instructor.
I believe we exist to search and to find out what is beyond our surrounding. No one has ever developed capabilities, skills and inspirations without movement whether physical or mental. Through traveling you can develop into a better and more compassionate human being. Through traveling you get to see the world from different perspectives and understand that different people have their priorities in an order and in ways you have never imagined. When you go out of what you know, what you are comfortable with and what is extremely relevant you get to appreciate what you have and grow an understanding to what others do, think and live. You learn so much about the world, but you also learn so much about yourself and the person you would like. Traveling can change the way you view yourself, the world, and the people around you.

 

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is about having a cultural exchange wich gives me insight into a culture that would be hard to get when you're staying at a hotel or hostel.. I can choose who I stay with . Finding a CS host with a common interest makes for a more personable and unique experience. My hosts can tell me what is worth seeing.

Each and every city in the world is full of people you have never met. Each culture is different, with its own unique customs and traditions. Meeting people from different cultures can actually help you diversify your life.

Sure, a lot of people travel to get away from their mundane routines, but it can also really open your eyes. Moving out of your usual comfort zone and taking on new adventures will only enrich your life, and you will come home a wiser person.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is life. Without music, the world would be silent and dreary. Music enfolds you in a blanket of comfort, giving you inspiration in moments of loneliness and sorrow. It is the harmonious articulation of people's thoughts and passions utilized as a meaningful and complex expression of universal communication. I live my daydreams in music. I see life in terms of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkeling and free diving with dolphins.

Teach, Learn, Share

The true couchsurfers are free people not freeloaders.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing amazing travel stories . I think a good Couchsurfing guest is someone who understands that the point is not just free accommodation, rather, it is about sharing good time and happy memories. Through travel and learning in an enjoyable way, our lives are enriched, we meet new people, and we expand our potential.
