CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, travel, meet people from everywhere around the world and do at least a little something to save the planet!

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going person who gets along well with people. I like to meet people from all over the world and share experiences. I really like travelling and discover new places, new cultures, and obviously, wonderful people.

PHILOSOPHY

Marcel Proust: « Partir à la découverte ne signifie pas chercher d’autres terres mais regarder avec d’autres yeux. »
Translation in English: " Leave for the discovery does not mean to look for other earths but to look with other eyes".

« Poursuis ce qui t’enchante », translation in English: « Follow your bliss »

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to make to best out of every experience. For now, I have surfed more than I have hosted, but I would like to experience both of them more in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have a lot of experience with couch surfing, but in the future, I would like to experience more CS.

I hosted once when I was living in Chile and I surfed a couple of times and all of those experiences were really great! I hope to explore more CS in the future!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

One amazing thing that I have done (maybe it doesn't seems to be that amazing, but it is for me!) is to rent a motorbike and drive in crazy Hanoi city, in Vietnam. Honestly, without any circulation rules, and with an estimation of 10 millions of motorbikes in the city, driving there and surviving is pretty amazing!

Insegna, impara, condividi

Teach: As French is my first language, I am up to give some French lessons.

Learn: I would like to know more about photography, and also about the mechanic of a bike. I would also be interested of learning how to play accordion.

Share: I am up to share my travel experiences in central and south America as well as India, South East Asia and West Africa. I really like to hear about people's life path as well: where they've traveled, what they've done, etc. It is really inspiring and motivating!
