CURRENT MISSION

Having as much different experiences as possible, meeting new cultures and making new friends. Living openly to the most

ABOUT ME

I like to think of me as a very easy-going, warm and open person. I believe it's very important, wherever you are and whenever you can, to be able to share good moments with whoever is around you - to me, it's just a matter of listening to people and knowing how to enjoy the simple things in life.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm in the search for great moments in life. Moments in contact with people that are able to transform myself radically and in which I can feel I added something to the people around me and to the world.

To me, it's important to feel pleasure in what we're doing, in what we're, the life we live. That's why I believe it's important to change the world we live in and the relations between people. CS comes exactly in this way to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never hosted anyone and I've never surfed. But I'm actually moving to Paris, in a one semester exchange programm. And I intend to host and to surf a lot during this period in France. To be honest, this is one of the most interesting experiences I expect to have in Europe.

Interests

I love writing, I adore dancing and I'm a beginner at cycling and cooking. Oh yeah, languages: I love them. Arts in general and social consciousness are very important to me as well. Being part of the student movement at University was and still is a life-changing experience. I love discussing politics, human relations, gender issues, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: contemporary dance while listening to brazilian music - by the way, a bit about brazilian popular music. Drawing maybe. Reading out loud to someone a poem or an extract is a pleasure.

I'd like: to speak spanish well. To start painting or trying ceramics. To hear stories about places I don't know.
