About Me

IMPORTANT : at the moment, i cannot host anyone, sorry!!!!!!!!

ABOUT ME

sincere sometimes, curious sometimes, funny sometimes, spontaneous sometimes, tired sometimes, smiling sometimes...it depends on circumstances but most of the time i must admit that i'm a very cool person :D . i want to take care of me and my friends, and to do things when i want to do it but sometimes i dont tell what i want because i am shy sometimes. i've already lived in berlin and it's my second home. i thought it would be cool to discover a new spot in berlin, instead of always going back to the same place with the same people even if i love it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i want to go somewhere or to meet someone from somewhere sometimes

i like dancing, juggling, jogging, longboarding, taking a nap, meditating (vipassana), learning that i'm not what i thought i was (going out of boxes in which i or people put me in), meeting people or watching people, i like reading friedrich nietzsche, erich fromm, autobiographical novels, i like staying on the grass, i like changing.
