For me, Culture is the main achievement of mankind. I would like to spend my life learning about it and experiencing its many manifestations. In the meanwhile, I enjoy studying/working to protect my own region's cultural legacy.

I'm a doing my PhD degree in Public Administration in the Swiss School of Public administration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and share our different worlds.

I did host once in Bogotá, and then I stayed in my host's place in Brasilia, but I have never tried after it, maybe in the next years...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Following our ancient tracks from where the coffee beans were transported one hundred years before, we rode donkeys and mules for 3 days from the northern and more traditional part of the coffee cultural landscape to the developed middle part. In 8-9 hours trail each day, we had passed through beautiful coffee plantations as well as difficult high and cloudy mountain forest before we arrived to those frozen-in-time coffee villages, in which we had a drink with local communities and a good sleep in some of the main square hotels.
