About Me

I'm a cosmic human being looking forward to find myself in this wild and beautiful world and therefore contribute for a better Life of all Beings and the Earth itself.
I consider myself a nice person with a big heart. I'm a easy going and I love a good laugh.
I'm interested in meeting new people from around the world, sharing cultural experiences, going out, meeting new places, seeing and trying new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a really nice way to know people, learn with them and have fun too. I think that knowing the locals is the way that can change your trip and make it more enriching. Leaving my comfort zone is really an adventure. I also like to be alone by myself and give freedom to the people that host me, for sure. I love to receive people as well for the same reasons.

Interests

Music and traveling are my passions. I also like loosing myself in the forest, yoga, surfing, dancing/party, playing guitar, football and padel, reading and watching movies.
