About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live fullest

ABOUT ME
I am an experience couchsurfer. Before couchsurfing was born, I was an active member of hospitality club.

I'm addicted to traveling. Just thinking about travelling will keep me happy through a year of work!!! I believe that there is a great big world out there that is available to be discovered and experienced. Having first visited Italy in 2004 that turned out to have an exceptional pull on my heart.

Finally I quited my job in Hong Kong in 2005 and came to Italy. At the end I spent 9 years of my life in Rome. This was really the most rewarding and exhilarating experiences in my life.
