PHILOSOPHY

I try and live for the now, I value every single thing that happens in my life and believe that it all happens for a cosmic harmony.

As my favourite Author said,

“All my life one of my greatest desires has been to travel-to see and touch unknown countries, to swim in unknown seas, to circle the globe, observing new lands, seas, people, and ideas with insatiable appetite, to see everything for the first time and for the last time, casting a slow, prolonged glance, then to close my eyes and feel the riches deposit themselves inside me calmly or stormily according to their pleasure, until time passes them at last through its fine sieve, straining the quintessence out of all the joys and sorrows.”
- Nikos Kazantzakis, Report to Greco.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my heart I have always been the guy that wanted to meet local people at the places I visited. For me, meeting the locals is the foundation of travel.

Couchsurfing makes this foundation possible!

If I am not able to host you do not hesitate to send me a message. I will be glad to help you out, especially on villages and mountains around.
