About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy what life brings you

ABOUT ME

I love travelling, meeting people and having good food. Would love to share good moments in life.

I'm a good listener and learning to be a better story-teller. Trying to share my travels and stories with other travellers.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn to appreciate what life brings you. Slow down and enjoy!
I am living my life a snail speed in the hassel and hectic city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Yes I'm living in Utopia, believing people are good in general. But why not?! I believe travellers should offer a hand to someone in need and I'm learning to ask for help when I really need it.
