Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since my first encounter with couchsurfing some years ago in south east asia, I've become addicted...I've had great times hosting and being hosted, meeting wonderful people from everywhere, making some real friends!
Couchsurfing is a way of travelling I really like: you dont go somewhere so much to see the buildings or landscapes but more to meet the people and share the real atmosphere, the fun and our cultures.

Interests

travel of course! from comfy weekends to backpacking trails in the jungle + everything in between

MUSIC: guitar playing, GOING TO CONCERTS, jazz, latin jazz, funk, reggae, afrobeat, blues, electro-swing, and more

all ARTS: especially literature & cinema, but also painting, theater, opera, streetart, going to exhibitions

scuba diving, free diving, watersports

cooking fine foods (and eating fine foods)

learning languages, writing

What I love most in life is discovering new people, new places, new cultures, new ideas, and learning something everyday

Going out: ranges from having anapéritif drink with a friend, to heavy till-dawn partying = enjoying life!!
