About Me

I enjoy the beauty of randomness and improvised plans. Eventhough I am geographer and love maps, I like wandering and discovering the secrets paths keep.

Listen more than I speak, but also have a lot of experiences, facts and stories to share. I usually don't feel uncomfortable with silence, and I trust people's good will easily.

Open-minded, very flexible, assertive and respectful-energetic - I try making the most of my day-to-day, and give all the love i was raised with to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, but not doing tourism. It's contradictory isn't it?I dont enjoy going to typical touristic places, take couple of pictures and then catch next bus-tram-train and etc.

What I search when I'm travelling is catching the local spirit, grow from the experience, having good and not-so-good times, learning and growing from the experience. Low-cost airlines and tourist agencies are changing patterns and behaviours everywhere, carrying positive and negative issues.

I like Coachsurfing because I love sharing.

Interests

I am interested in everything to do with world culture -languages, costumes and music, I try to understand how different societies develop across the territories and do not believe culture is constrained to borders, nor by stereotypes.

Enjoy writing a lot. Usually write travel diaries and poetry. I love the sound of the rail tracks, traka-ta, traka-ta,

My favourite music beats are are balkan, flamenco and rock'n roll.

I enjoy taking part in community projects, learning languages and local expressions. Embracing sunsets and constellations, both existing and invented!

I love the taste of draft beer, Sitting at a good bar with good company cannot easily be replaced!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born, taking my very first breath and opening my eyes to see blurry reality. Isn't that the most amazing thing we have ever done?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not sure I can host because is a shared flat and not that big! You can try anyway, maybe is possible!
What I can defiently do is going on a hike or small day-trip on weekends, hang-out with other Coachsurfers and friends, go out to taste some local food and wine for cheap.
Also have good tips so you to get to know nice spots.
