Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meet, learn, enjoy, share, experience and travel....
ABOUT ME
I am endlessly curious.
I love genuine and simple. Respectful and kind.
Besides this, I'm not sure. You'll tell me.
PHILOSOPHY
I doubt therefore I am.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
Love to meet people and get a glimpse of human complexity.

But like-minded people are welcome as well.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Definitely changed my way of travelling.
What's better than that ?
