About Me

I'm a cheerful social introvert. Being a "go with the flow" type of a person, I always look at things from the bright side. If it's bad don't worry, it could have been worse. Besides, I'm making fun of my fails and flaws every day, overcoming whatever challenges life throws at me. I wish I could procrastinate less though and get rid of my superpower to be energized without sleeping a lot.

I think that kindness might save the world, thus, be kind and see the world changing around you.

P.S. If you've read this far, I DO NOT ACCEPT FRIENDSHIP REQUESTS FROM RANDOM STRANGERS, NOR I'M INTERESTED IN LONG CHATS or DATING OFFERS. I'M HERE to HELP fellow TRAVELLERS to feel at home in my country, for cultural exchange, for spreading the belief in human kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From time to time I like to make short trips to places and it's always nice to connect with some local people because they know the secret gems of their hometowns.
