About Me

ABOUT ME

Ah well, don't really like describing myself but here is my little attempt to tell you something about me...

I am a living paradox. I can be chirpy and fun but sometimes prefer to recoil in mellower moments... spontaneous and yet apprehensive (nothing that can't be cured with some liquid courage)... silly and yet serious. I won't write an essay about me here... I've already written too much.

PHILOSOPHY

I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish. - Simone de Beauvoir

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm constantly inspired by travellers I meet so I love what this site is all about.

It's such a joy to visit different cities and discover new cultures and people. Traveling to me is about wandering the streets, intentionally getting lost, meeting all sorts of people and expecting the unexpected.
