About Me

I am a curious person, the type that would never stop exploring, that would make plans, set goals and work hard in order to achieve them. I am a friendly person, open for new, exciting things, talks, people, and actions.
I think that travels, new experiences and change are the fuel to people's life and a good way of learning & growing. This is why I support the CouchSurfing idea and the many possibilities it offers to travelers.

My biggest likes are: chilling in the sun, voyages, big green trees, clear water, dogs, goats, learning new things, the French language, Paris, riding my bike, reading, discoveries, being surrounded by relaxed and interesting people

My biggest dislikes are: grey and rainy days, very dry red wine, pigeons, superficiality

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing represents an authentic way of traveling, that unlocks so many doors to otherwise unexplored places, people, and cultures. The direct interaction with the hosts, the possibility to engage in an intercultural communication and thus learning about different lifestyles is something that characterizes CouchSurfing.
For me, it's an endless inspiration!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking part at a great "botellon" in Granada's central square. More than 300 people gathered to drink and laugh together.
Living in the more dangerous part of Atlantic City, U.S., being woken up by gunshots and seeing a couple of people.
Moving to Paris, France with not more than 1.200 EUR.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could gladly teach you things related to the Romanian culture - may it be the language, cuisine or history.
I would love to share my travel experiences, as well as my visions and dreams (because...we all have them, and maybe they're similar, but we will never know if we wouldn't share, right?)
