PHILOSOPHY

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
(Oscar Wilde)

I want to find my own philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to leave people, places and experiences behind me with a longlasting smile remaining inside me and with the feeling of having given the persons I shared the experience with an even warmer one to keep.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve been couchsurfing in USA, Italy and Sweden. This is really one of the best way of exchanging; experiences, thoughts and favors!

Interests

I´m a journalist, so most topics can arouse my interest. I like reading, both books and newspapers, photographing, visiting museums and exhibitions, dancing both in my own livingroom and on the dancefloors, travelling, cinema, music and festivals. I also love to participate in discussions that you don´t know where they will lead in small, cozy bars over some red wine.
