About Me

Live life with no Regrets!

In the beginning I may be quiet, after a while , if it "clicks" with people and I feel very confident, I'm an extrovert. I love to meet people from all around the world and discover the nicest spots on this planet.

PHILOSOPHY

I definitely believe that contributing with Couch surfing, I'm helping to make a better world. Where the people will understand more each other and have a better idea of how life is short and we must enjoy it intensely.
Doesn't matter what part of the world you live, your religion, your color , culture and whatever, you must be committed of helping people and try to make the world a better place to live.
