Why I'm on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people where I go. I don't like to feel like a tourist and I prefer to visit and watch less, but to exchange more. That's why I'll like to meet curious people interested in sharing and learning.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

I went to Paris to study without speaking French. Meet my best friend there. Technically speaking I grew as human being, living, studying and working successfully for 3 years. I loved French culture and integrated it as a part of me. A little part of Paris is always there where I go. I had the amazing opportunity of spending a clandestine night, going across the true catacombes all beneath the city with friends who knew them by heart.
