If you want to stay at my place, please keep in mind:
- I'm answering slowly, because I don't have a Smartphone - so last minute requests will probably not have any success.
- Please read my profile and my messages (you don't have to memorize everything and there won't be an exam. However, sometimes I'm just wondering, how ignorant people can be, requesting stuff that obviously isn't possible ;) )

People usually call me Aki, not Alexander.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not only do I like to travel, but it is also a great place to get to know openminded and considerate people.
