CURRENT MISSION

Hiking every single weekend....or at least trying to.

ABOUT ME

My name is Aleks and I love meeting people from other parts of the world. I love sharing different points of view and getting to know a slice of some other reality in another corner of the world that does not match that which surrounds me. I love traveling very much and take any opportunity to go somewhere new. I love politics and history, foreign languages, new foods and flavours, coffee and wine. I love nature, mountains and oceans but I prefer living in a huge city that just overflows with life and energy. I like people that embrace others for who they are and don't judge them.

PHILOSOPHY

I can only include cheesy words that I think everyone tries to adhere to...about living life to the fullest and not putting things off until tomorrow.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a member for a long time but I've never been able to host yet. It's such a fantastic idea, and I wholeheartedly adore CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far. I can't wait though!
