Overview
About Me
Spreading love and compassion while creating deep connections.🪷
In January 2025, I started a backpacking trip across Asia.
I wanted to venture out into the world and fully immerse myself in the culture of each place I visit and here I am, finally doing it.
You might see me walking along the road with a backpack on my shoulders, sometimes holding a cardboard sign, other times simply sticking out my thumb.
I love connecting with locals, and I believe hitchhiking is one of the best ways to do it.
When I visit a country, I want to live like the locals, be among them, and learn from them.
Religion and spiritual practices are, to me, one of the most fascinating parts of any culture.
I’m a slow traveler who loves building connections and friendships across the world, with people of any age, gender, background, or belief.
There’s always something to learn from every person and every experience.
My desire to explore the world and my curiosity about other cultures have always been within me, just waiting for a spark to ignite them.
When I was 17, I had the chance to live for a year with a local family in Uruguay as an exchange student, learning the language and embracing the culture.
Then, at 19, I left everything behind and with little to no money I set off for Australia to discover this beautiful country.
I ended up living there for two years, doing all sorts of jobs, meeting incredible people, and having truly life-changing experiences.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
If you’ve ever traveled to a foreign country for the first time without knowing the language, the history, the traditions, the food culture, or how to get around and no one was there to help, you might have felt like something was missing.
With Couchsurfing, you have friends in every corner of the world, ready to show you their country through their eyes, whether it’s by offering you a place to stay or simply sharing a meal.
I’m on Couchsurfing because I want to meet these friends, create meaningful connections, and experience each place I visit through the eyes of a local.

Music, Movies, and Books
Reggae, Funk, jazz, soul music, classical music, everything from rock 60’70’80’ , ambient and electronic music that’s what nourish my ears.
Soo many movies, I’ll just say a few: Into the wild, Fight Club, Interstellar, Amadeus, The Shawshank Redemption , Forrest Gump, Nuovo Cinema Paradiso.
I can read about everything really but I lean towards more philosophical, psychological books.
If I had to pick only one author it would be J.Krishnamurti.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Walking solo over 900kms from France to the westernmost point of Spain.
