Relaxed, but always up for spending time outside. Usually like to plan, with a sprinkling of spontaneity. Open-minded, and strive to live for the experience. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My best travel experiences have always been the ones where I could learn from the locals.

I also love the idea of a sort of collective society in which travel and culture exchange is made easier.
