CURRENTLY NOT HOSTING, CS JUST DISABLED THE NOT HOSTING OPTION, SORRY. We are Santiago and Maria Luiza, and we share many dreams — dreams we would love to share with you too. We are simple people with a big desire to welcome travelers wherever we may be. As travelers ourselves, we have received so much kindness and support, and with that same spirit, we want to give back. And when that’s not possible, it will be because we’re out on the road, living and sharing beautiful moments. Maria Luiza is from the countryside of Brazil, where she grew up surrounded by beauty and lots of love. Santiago is from the Colombian Andes and is also Brazilian — he grew up between both countries and carries a deep love for his continent. The house is small, but the heart is big. Welcome.
Welcome to my Couchsurfing profile! I was born in Rasht, Iran, a city renowned for its abundant rainfall and breathtaking natural beauty. Iran itself is a land of ancient wonders, rich history, and warm-hearted people who take hospitality to a whole new level. Now, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I used to be the quietest kid on the block, barely uttering a word to anyone except my dear mother until the age of four. But don't let that fool you—I've undergone quite the transformation. These days, my friends describe me as a patient and attentive listener. Sure, some might say I have a knack for asking too many questions or being a tad stubborn, but hey, life's all about balance, right? It wasn't until my early twenties that I realized the importance of breaking out of my introverted shell. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and embraced the beauty of stepping outside my comfort zones. I learned the art of socializing, nurturing friendships, and embracing new experiences with open arms. And let me tell you, the rewards have been extraordinary. I've been fortunate to build a circle of amazing friends who feel like family, supporting and sharing unforgettable moments along the way. Above all, I aspire to be a welcoming and respectful host, and I genuinely hope to meet like-minded individuals who share a passion for exploration, connection, and creating lifelong memories. I can't wait to meet you and discover the incredible stories that lie within your footsteps.
📍Lecce (Apulia, Salento🇮🇹) 👉 Please start your request with the word ‘minimalism’ so I know you’ve read my profile.
ABOUT ME Amo incontrare persone solari e sorridenti e gentili, sono abbastanza riservato ma mai troppo. Amo viaggiare e sentirmi parte pulsante dei luoghi che vivo. Preferisco avere ospiti che amano condividere esperienze in natura come trekking, kayak in mare etc.. ma anche qualche passeggiata in città, una birra in giro o un pasto condiviso ma sempre in totale libertà reciproca. In questo periodo preferisco incontrare persone con cui poter praticare l’inglese (che parlo poco e male), lo spagnolo (parlo benino) o chiaramente l'italiano se non ci sono alternative.

CURRENT MISSION enjoy life as better as possible ABOUT I am interested in everything about environment, ecology and animals. I'm vegetarian. I can not live without the sea. I'm an Ethologist. Very direct person. PHILOSOPHY Everything' s gonna be alright. Don't forget the past, live fully the present, don't be afraid of the future.
Sociable, open-minded, enthusiastic of life and curious about other cultures. Love traveling, walking in the nature and hiking in the mountains. One day I'd like to move to the countryside and devote myself to agriculture. But at the moment I live in a fancy apartment in the city :D I write songs and I play and mix electronic music. Trying to switch this hobby into a job, but normally I'm digital designer. I've just started a channel to show the modular synths that I use and some music I've composed. Here the link if you want to watch some video (better in headphones) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnp2TE_ulC0
Hi 👋🏻 🙂🤝🙂 I live like an ocean swell. If there is no storm, I won't exist anymore 🌊 =================================== *** the only 4 IMPROTANT things here *** I DO NOT expect you to read my profile; it's so long😆 but if you request, just check my home section. Take it easy; I almost accept everyone 😅 You just need to respect my flatmates' privacy, I am not working for couchsurfing; and ambassadors do not mean checking you but a title for a person with more experience. 😆 I am as open-minded as you 🫡 ================================== In the following, you will see how my brain works, who I believe I am, my vision and philosophy, and finally, Navid in CS with my instagram link 🧠😬 You may reckon I am a dreamer scientist, but not a sciencefictionist, so I am curious, and I like challenge. There is a constant storm in my brain; sometimes, it ends up with questions, nice conversation, sharing, and learning. For instance: ⁉️What defines art?👨🎨👩🎨 ⁉️Will a robot fall in love one day ? Will AI make a movie and win Oscar? Will AI be a scientist and register patent? ....🤖👾 ⁉️What is gender equality for you ? 👫 ⁉️First big bang... Ok, Darvin, let's say you are right, but it is all about material. How does the concept of time be created? Now math... Is time just a dimention in "our" vector space!!!! time is a human construct. Does it really exist?📅 ⁉️WWIII 🤯🤢 Who / What / Why / Where may it trigger? 💣 ⁉️Do we need to study metaphysics ? Do supernatural exist ? 👻 ⁉️Are we alone in the universe? 👽 ⁉️At what age do we stop being young? 🙊🙉 ⁉️Is it ever too late?🥺 ⁉️What is freedom?🕊🦅 ⁉️Are you ready to die? ⚰️ ⁉️If you fail on purpose, have you actually succeeded?🤝 ⁉️Should we be proud of what we didn't choose!? Like nationality ! Gender ! Etc 🎁 ... Me 🤠 PostDoc researcher and lecturer Tour guide by bicycle (evening and weekends) Dance, Pub, Fun, Party, Festival the rest of the time I come from a cordial family born in Ardabil and grew up there. My nickname is Navid, and my family and close friends call me by that nickname. You can also. I have a social personality. I LOVE SMILE AND I TRY TO SMILE ALWAYS. I believe I am optimistic, open mind, usually full of energy, amp, and witty. I meditate if I am tired. I learned some methods in Nepal and India, but I am not master. 🧘🏻♂️ My philosophy : 🧠 I accept the statement of Jack Welch: “If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.” My vision: 🔭 during the rain, birds watch for a sanctuary, but eagles fly over the clouds. So, I am trying to go over the clouds through travel, cultural exchange, and meeting new people to understand the world that I am living in. CS 🧡 philosophy is sharing and connections. I might ask about your culture, hometown nature, your local cuisine, your local festivals, and events because I expect to share these things and hear your stories. I like to try your local food if we have time to cook together and more importantly you teach me how to prepare it.🌮🍙🥪🥘🍲 I am collecting a postcard. I would appreciate it if you could bring me a postcard of your hometown and write something about yourself, your city, culture, and history on it. ✉✒📝 Requests 📃 I prefer last-minute requests.📆 I know my profile is long to read. so I don't expect everybody to read all. particularly when people are traveling, they can't read this much of every profile. Therefore, I will not reject you just if you don't write the word Navidad in your request. but if you write it, you will be absolutely accepted if I am in the mood and I have the possibility to host. because you really allocated time. 🌍🌎🌏🌐 you can check my travel diary on instagram 👇🏼 : navid_agha (the profile pic is sunset). Please write me this code in instagram direct message so I will know you are also a Traveler 🤩 CS -"your CouchSurfering profile name"
Born in Italy. Multiuncultural. Free Dreamer. I support a lot this community and you can feel free to write me if you really feel, need a place to stay, or if you want some informations or help in the area, specially if you are on a Journey. I also manage a CoLiving space called CoDreaming. If I have no space for fellows couchsurfers, sometimes I have it for fellows guests, so please mention it in the request, if you are interested. What is making me more happy is when real communication happen. It could be with other humans, or also with animals, plants, or even with materia. It doesn't need necessarily words. Communication is connecting, then sharing. This was and is Couchsurfing for me. A way to create opportunities of communication with no expectations. Meeting You, and communicating with You, is the best way to see myself. That's why I like to meet unique people, because I learn a lot from them. When I travel I see inside first, then outside.
✨ Come as a guest, leave as a friend! 😊 I’m Mahdi, a Persian in Lecce. By day, I’m an engineer; out of work, I’m exploring or shooting photos as a freelance photographer. I love coffee, travel, and meeting cool people. A bit introverted but friendly once you get to know me. Need a place to stay? I’ve got you covered! ☑️ What I don’t care about: if you’re male or female, your age, where you come from, your job, how much money you make, your religion, or the country on your passport. None of that says much about how we’ll get along. ✅ What I do care about: your references, high five if you’ve hosted others, and building a genuine connection that lasts beyond a few nights. Bonus points if you’ve actually read my bio instead of sending a random template message. 🟥 Check my house rules and photos, and mention the keyword listed so I know you’ve read them and they fit your style. 🍀 Want to be a memorable Couchsurfer?
