CURRENT MISSION

Another world is possible

ABOUT ME

I`m a communicative, open- minded person. I'm a journalist and I love my work, because I DO like meeting people, listen a good story and write it. I work in a national newspaper. I write most of all about social exclusion and human rights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I love to travel. I think travelling is important for everyone, it helps you grow, and broaden your world perspective. I enjoy a good laugh, a nice conversation, going out with friends, receiving friends for dinner. I love the ocean. I like the smell of air just after the rain, the smell of fresh coffee, the smell of just bought book, the smell of a newspaper. I used to read a lot of fiction, but over the last years my book reading rate has declined. To much news and thesis to read...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The amazing thing is always the next thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

In my perspective, CS is about personal and cultural exchange.I don't really want to host or surf just for the sake of it. There must be some interaction: a meal, a chat, something more than free accommodation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I never know my work schedule. I have no much time to show around. Most of the time I'm busy working, but I can provide you with info. And sure I can have a late breakfast with you or a late dinner or go out at night. I love trying new dishes, so if you feel like cooking, I'll be delighted :-).
