About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep moving!

ABOUT ME

I am a curious, open-minded guy who loves travelling, discovering new places and cultures and making friends. Probably something to do with being a nomad since childhood. I love to jump in a plane for an impromptu week-end to an unknown capital, reach my hostel and walk for hours around the place, sampling food/drinks and atmosphere as I go. I had my first beer in Germany, first sauna in Finland, first Thai massage in... Yes! Thailand. I have an enormous appetite for everything new and just can't wait to experience all of what the world has to offer!

PHILOSOPHY

Ditch up this ugly cubicle! Never stop learning. Feed yourself with new experiences and keep the excitement alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Lonely Planet can only get you this far. I want to get the full story on every place I go to by meeting locals. When fixed somewhere I know well, I am more than happy to share tips, experience and good stories with same-minded travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosting friends and friends' friends occasionally and everything went just fine. I'm new at doing it with friendly strangers though but expect to have the same fun and interest!
