About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep growing, learning, knowing new people and places.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting people from other cultures and travel to foreign countries. I've lived in other 3 countries and I would like to keep doing so in the future. I just can't have a life without exploring the world, my home.

PHILOSOPHY

"Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music- the world is so reach, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beatiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself".
Henry Miller
I couldn't have said it better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host up to two people here in Alicante, Spain.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done a simultaneous home exchange before with an Irish family and I couched an Australian couple and American couple too and an American girl through another website for home exchanges. In here, I've met Italians and British people who were visiting my town and wanted other people to hang out. The first time I met CS abroad was on my trip to Turkey and it was a wonderful experience!!!.

Interests

There are so many things..., but mainly and briefly, I like learning about people, the world and life, so any subject or experience that can help me with that one is interesting to me.
