About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Treat life well, so life treats you well back

ABOUT ME

I have travelled around the world, not to see churches, museums, houses, building, but to interact with people. There is nothing more interesting in the world than people, diverse cultures, different mindsets. It is a pleasure to be alive, let's enjoy it.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to become a better person and I do so by looking at myself, by trying to enjoy every moment in life, by knowing many people, by cultivating friendships, by being ethical without being boring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am now available to receive people from different cultures and looking forward to make people's experience in my country the best possible, maybe more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in many places, only once officially thruogh the CS site, in Norway, it was great. But many other times I stayed at friends houses, sometimes very new friends, and all of them were very remarkable experiences. Nothing better to really know one place than staying at someone's house.
