About Me

I'm an idealist and can get interested in almost anything. I spent 6 summers working in American summer camps, so the US is kind of a second home for me. I'm a bookworm, I always have (at least) a book with me, and I also love swimming and hiking. My new passion is Formula 1 and cars in general apparently.

PHILOSOPHY
I'd like to try as much things as possible, because we have just one life and we should live according to that. If we miss a chance to do something, it might never come back, and we will regret it for a life.
When I was like 8 or 9, I had the chance to try a hang-glider (I'm not sure this is the right word, but the dictionary says it is), but I was to scared. That's one of my biggest regrets, so now I try out everything even if it's scary or even if I don't feel like trying it at that moment. (UPDATE: I went to ride a hang-glider last year, so it is no longer a regret as I learnt from the experience. :) )

I'm also learning the true meaning of "Home is where the heart is" and find that I'd rather do stuff with somebody, and miss on something else, that I would do by myself, even if I wanted to do the latter one one. Life is short, yes, but it's not the goal, nor the road there, it's actually the people with you. ("Happiness is only real when shared" is also another way of saying what I'm saying, I guess.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed around the US, and some places in Europe. It was mostly awesome - had some amazing experiences (also some weird ones. :D)
I have hosted some really nice people - soon we'll be moving in to a bigger apartments so finally I can host again, paying it back to the community.

I would love to practice Spanish, so if you can speak it, request me, and also if you're into F1 or cars, same! But if you think that we would click, just request, and we'll see. :)
