About Me

On weekdays I'm a corporate bitch (who BTW loves his job), while on weekends I turn into a content-consuming, food-gorging, zen-level chilling, (whenever possible) backpacking oddball!
In other general terms - I am an organised and inquisitive person who is easy to get along-with. And I have a sense of humour. ;)

I recently married my college sweetheart who practices a Vegan cruelty-free way-of-life which I'm deeply inspired with and together we like to follow a thoughtful & sustainable lifestyle full of new enriching experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The whole idea of living at a new place with an interesting local makes a lot of sense to me. I believe there's a lot to learn about a place from the people who live there, so here I am on a quest to know you guys by sharing your homes! Moreover I got completely hooked onto CS after surfing in multiple countries across Europe during my exchange semester in Germany, 2016.
