ABOUT ME
I am always looking for an adventure. May it be small or may it be big; an adventure is an adventure.
I am passionate about traveling and I am addicted to hitch-hiking (some people get thrilled by new clothes, I get thrilled by jumping into strangers' cars).
I have a big love for Africa and haven't seen much else of the world, yet.
I grow and learn every day just like you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I offer my couch to travelers where ever I live, and I surf couches where ever I go. Because it has changed my life, and I love it.
Biking around Milano with my host by night is one of the best things I've done through CS, and also getting whipped with birch twigs in Helsinki was pretty awesome.
Interests
Traveling. Traveling.
I love writing and photography, reading and to sit outside in the grass whispering with the wind.
I can walk around for hours taking photographs and sitting down with a cup of tea and good company is also a great way to spend a day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Living in South Africa was the best thing I could ever do.
Mauritania and that endless desert - my five months in that environment changed me a lot. Driving lost in the desert, meeting the people and living in a culture so different from my own... how can that be anything but amazing?
Malawi is up to now my heaven on earth. The people, nature, trekking, diving and Lake Malawi... all good memories!
Also, all hitch-hiking I've done has been awesome in many ways. Especially HHing through south Europe and northwestern Africa.
