CURRENT MISSION

Working on a movie in collaboration with a director and other artist.

I enjoy meeting people and getting to know different cultures, languages and places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience in Antwerpen, Brussel, Edinburg and Reijkjavik was great, we shared a lot of stories and some became friends.

When I first went to Rome 4 years ago I started couchsurfing , met a couple fantastic hosts.

I goth harassed and a lot of other negative things... don't go for te emergency calls in rome there can be very creepy man and very dirty appartements...
