About Me

Friendly and openminded, I am easy-going and highly adaptive. I am passionate about nature and engaged to it's conservation. I mostly enjoy hiking in the nature and admiring the fauna and the flora but I also enjoy long chill conversations about random topics, board-gaming and partying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like travelling but not always spending a lot of time preparing the travel itself. Couchsurfing means spending afternoons with new mates, perhaps learning some cooking recipees and getting some travel tips too! Nothing better than local expertise!.
