I am super new here, eventhough I couchsurfed with my girlfriend before. So please be patient with me and give me opportunities .

Things I am C R A Z Y about (I know that there is a special section for this, but I cannot separate who I am from my passions):

- Thrift shopping
- Flea Markets
- History
- Collections of all sorts
- Politics
- Deep conversations
- Cinema (I actually own a collection with more than 700 dvds and blu rays)
- Studio Ghibli
- Dogs and cats (I would say animals in general, which is true, but I am not vegan so I don't want to sound hypocrite) - I actually have 12 pets in my house - 8 dogs and 4 cats (one dog is about to die, tho, so you might get here and only find 7)
- Traveling (Duh...)
- Music

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

And as I was saying... Passions are the most interesting thing to discover in a person. There is nothing more interesting in someone than to hear about their passions and how these passions offered them new and exciting experiences. And, as said before,I am a collector since I was 9 (collecting more than 15 kinds of things, from war objects to sea shells and records). Peoples passions are one of these collections. Thus, this is the main reason I am on Couchsurfing: getting to know knew people and their passions..... and to save money when traveling.

When receiving people into my house, I just expect them to bring a little bit of their light and good energy into my home and family, that's literally everything that I ask (besides not stealing my stuff and killing my dogs and cats).
