ABOUT ME

i am naturally curious and inquisitive, i enjoy meeting people and talking with them and i can also be perfectly content with observing from afar. sometimes i'm loud. i don't get bored. i want to know many languages. i am always trying to improve my cooking and learn more about food for a far-off dream. musical instruments and live music are thrilling to me. so is finding an excellent youtube playlist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i host and surf, meet people for a coffee and a chat, encounter incredible, openminded, interesting people - many that i'm lucky to hang out with again in totally different parts of the world. i'm happy to just give you recommendations of things to do in my city if i'm away exploring.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've met some of my absolute favorite people through couchsurfing, not always hosting or surfing, but just meeting a local and seeing a new city through their eyes. bring some languages with you, the ability to master multiple is inspiring.
