About Me

I am crazy about books and music (rock and jazz first of all).
I love traveling and outdoor activities such as hiking and camping.
I like to learn about other counties, their history and culture, to talk about cultural differences. Also languages are very interesting for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and this is a great opportunity to meet new people from all around the world, to learn more about other cultures, countries and life there.

I have not much CouchSurfing experience, but I'm going to change it.
