PHILOSOPHY

Never stop being curious!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting up for coffee or food and hosting when I have space and time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted several times in both Ålesund and Beijing and it was nice.

I surfed once, and it was great. It was 4 years ago in southern China.

I would love to surf again, hopefully when I go to Italy this summer.

Interests

My mission is to catch all the pokémon, taste new foods, see new sights, capture all the moments, speak new words, learn new (and old) things and doing my best every day to live a good and meaningful life.
