About Me

I am a freelance translator, a bass player, and a paragliding pilot. I also like trekking, camping and getting high in the nature. I occasionally do rock climbing as well but I'm not that self-confident at it yet.

As of January 2024, I'm officially homeless as I wanted to try a digital nomad lifestyle. So I will probably not be able to host people most of the time. Though sometimes I'll probably be renting places for a short amount of time and when I'm available to host I'll update my status to "accepting guests".

I'm planning on migrating to South America in November 2024 and be a digital nomad there. So I'd be very happy to meet up with Spanish speakers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of being a part of the country when I am travelling and I don't think you have really seen a city/country unless you heard the stories of people living in it.
So here I am, to share my experiences and my home with like-minded people.

And a big emphasis on "like-minded people" because when I accept requests, I would like to make sure that the hosting/surfing experience will be interesting and valuable for both of us. I read your profiles and pay attention to the information you share about yourself and other people's reviews about you. And I expect the same from other users, so here's a keyword to let me know that you've also paid attention: "Banana". I'm really open to creative uses of the keyword in funny sentences haha so bring it on!!!
