CURRENT MISSION

helping to keep the "couchsurfing spirit": CS is neither a free hotel nor a dating website...

ABOUT ME

Curious of life, i like to meet people and share with them experience, stories, culture, languages, etc. I like to help and can be very welcoming as long as one does not take my generosity as granted.
I enjoy talking (too much?), especially with people who are passionate in what they like/do, as I am.

However, I am also very independent, and I sometimes need to stay alone to do what I have or want to do. I always plan hundreds of things, but if you contact me early enough, I will definitely save time for you and will always be glad to hang out.

PHILOSOPHY

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean)

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting: I try to host as much as I can, show people around, suggest activities and introduce them to my friends.

Surfing: I usually spend time reading profile to find a host that I will get along with. When I travel, I like to be totally immersed in the country and culture.

Groups: I join the groups related to my interests and the places that i visit, to get advice, participate in events and organize some myself.

Whatever the case, I try to keep in touch with the people I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I discovered CS in september 2007 when travelling in Berlin. Since then, I hosted everywhere I lived and surfed in many locations for various reasons.I really appreciate the people I met, the discussions and exchanges we had, and the advice they gave me. I always try to find a good reason to see them again!However, since I moved in India especially, I became more sceptical about the way people use the website, and sometimes very disapointed and worried about CS future...
