I am a simple guy who adores traveling and can't imagine his life without it. If you don't read ALL my profile, I won't host you. At least you can say my name and why do you want to meet me. CURRENT MISSION My current mission is to be better every day, to improve my thoughts and knowledge, to learn new stuff and to apply it in my life. I'd love to travel across the 7 continents someday and to be learning every day about new cultures and countries. In fact I want to be a wise person and to be successful in life doing what I love the most. Helping folks and environment. ABOUT ME I like to discover new things, new people and learn new languages. My hobbies are: numismatic, music (but I'm rusty), Of COURSE (traveling), medicine, history, trekking, reading, videogames and learn how can I be a better man everyday. PHILOSOPHY Ascetic. I believe that everyone can do what they like the most if they don't harm or annoy others with their beliefs and behavior. In few words, respect me and I'll respect you. If you want to say something ill-at-ease to me, please say it face to face instead of posting it without the opportunity to explain, fix or apologize. For sure, I will do the same if I have something uneasy to say you. Everybody has to be more tolerant and open minded to avoid taboos and be able to make some interesting conversations without being worried about making a lethal joking or speaking mistake. I am and I hope you are too. I’m straight but don’t discriminate against the LGBT community. Open to nearly all types of people. ATTENTION: COUCHSURFING FOR ME IS A BEUTIFUL COMMUNITY THAT CONNECTS TRAVELERS TO INTERACT AND MAKE FRIENDS IN THE WAY, IS NOT A DATING APP!. And an advise, every app is a dating app....if you're creepy enough. Please learn that a NO is a NO. My goal with Couchsurfing is not hook up, getting laid or using it in any way that remotely resembles Tinder but for Friendships with awesome people around the world. If you're going to a party while I'm hosting you don't hesitate to ask and please invite me too. AND If there's one thing I've learned about couchsurfing, it's to avoid all offers for massages and shared beds.

Hello, I am a world traveler because I love meeting new people and sharing experiences on travel and new interesting destinations. I’ve always felt most comfortable in airports, train and bus stations. My parents were travelers as well and this definitely was passed down to my sister and I as well. I am also an artist and have been working in various mediums over the last 45 years. My preferred material is in warm glass or also called glass casting. I work primarily with wet or oil based clays then make molds of these works. I work with plaster, cement, lost wax techniques. I enjoy the processes more than actually showing my works off to the public but maybe someday that will change. Anyways, I hope to meet other artists on my journeys around the world and maybe even collaborate or help other artists fulfill their visions. I am also big on environmentalism. REDUCE, RECYCLE, REUSE. Most of all REDUCE.
