I'm someone who lives on art and lives for art, and it is art that has always led me to travel a lot, which pleases my adventurous and 'gypsy' side. On the other hand, I love being at home, cooking, being among family and friends.
I am 34 years old, I have a congenital visual impairment, I don't have kids, I love reading, dancing, making new friends, and broadening my horizons by knowing other customs and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like people, I like interacting, contributing, sharing, making friends,
having my own life enriched by what other people bring and enriching people's lives with what I can. And a great way to get this exchange is by travelling and sharing the same house for a few days.

Teach, Learn, Share
