I work as a teacher and partly as a journalist, but actually I`m a begginning writer :-). I must confess I`m crazy about art, so if you`re looking for a person who can talk about music, movies and literature for hours, well, here I am :-). I`m also a big fan of Scandinavian culture, that`s why I`m learning Icelandic).

I`m a very sociable person, I like to dream and I look at life with a romantic point of view. I just adore laughing, meeting interesting people and talking to them. And I long for travelling as much as I can while I`m still young and free).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said before, I`m very interested in travelling, people and life itself. So I believe that couchsurfing is the greatest way to see a culture of any country from the inside out, which is impossible when you just stay at a typical hotel. Couchsurfing also gives you a wonderful opportunity to meet interesting people all around the world and to see the life with their eyes. And, to say more, I just like adventures).
