Overview
About Me
I am an adventurer guy, that has lived in India for 18 months and now studying in China. I am an easy going person, relaxed, and someone that go with the flow trying to adapt to the different options I will find in the path. I like to talk about the life experiences, I love cooking and is something that I enjoy doing, I love music and photography, traveling, sightseeing and enjoying a good coffee with a piece of cake or some biscuits. Also I enjoy having good conversations about life, but prefer to avoid religion or politics topics, as they are sensible subjects to talk about.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
After being in India for 18 months, living in a shared flat with other 7 people, everyone from different countries, i learnt that the best moments in our life are with people, that is the best way to learn about culture, food, costumes, mindsets, and so on, going to a hotel is a comfortable experience, but sharing with a local person is the best way to learn about the place, get good memories with the person if you have good connection with your host and you might be getting a new friend for your life. I want to learn about every place I will visit, try the best local food and visit places that only locals will suggest you to go, and the best way to do it is.... Being a Cauchsourfer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went to Leh, Ladak, north India because it was a place that many people used to say that it was a trip that totally worth to go. Finally after 7 months in India I decided to go there and also wanted to go to Pangong lake, a place at 4.250 metes over the sea level located 265 kilometers away from Leh. As I already mentioned I am an adventurer so I decided to rent scooter and start my trip to the lake. Some people told me it would be impossible because the high of the road to reach the lake was really hard and the bike was not the best, but I did not listen to it and decided to go. After 7 hours of trip, where even I found a couple I had met the previous day when requesting the permission to go there, returning to Leh, because it was too cold for them, I reached the famous Pangong Lake, where also 4 guys traveling in Royal enfield and KTM bikes, were completely in shock when they saw me in that scooter traveling to that place. The best message from this experience is... Try to do thing in a different way than others, If you do it people will notice and either will admire you or judge you, but you will not pass unnoticed!
