About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world as a local

ABOUT ME

I don't like to be seen as a tourist, that's why i've tried to learn as many languages as i can in order to meet the locals, make friends and get to know the places i go to as a resident, it's way more interesting.

In case my host has spare time, I'd appreciate to hang out and/or cook together, so that we can exchange views about the world. I'll understand if there's no time for socializing, in that case, I'd appreciate a place to spend tha night and some suggestions about interesting spots in the city

If told so, i can be very quiet.
Otherwise, i enjoy having talks with people from other cultures. Respect for the privacy and demands from my hosts is what I've learn - inter allia - in my CS experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Constructivism
The world is not only ruled by material resources. Ideas and norms are crucial.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in some CS events whenever I move to a new city (quite often).
I assist CSs when they are new in town.

If my host feels like, I like to cook together with him/her and their friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my CS experiences have been unique and positive.
I've learned a lot from different cultures.
