I enjoy hanging out with friends, writing music, singing and playing ukulele, watching a good movie, listening to music in my car, learning Japanese, dancing (over the years I've practiced different stuff from folk dancing to contact improvisation). I enjoy traveling to foreign cities but more than that I love hiking through beautiful landscapes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have friends in the couchsurfing community and met amazing people through couchsurfing events. I've hosted and also stayed with a few friends from the community. I am always eager to learn about different cultures and amazing places, and couchsurfing is a great platform for that.
