I love hanging out with friends. For me, they are my main source of energy, which is why I want to have as many friends from around the world as possible!

I’m quite spontaneous and outspoken. I enjoy talking and sharing ideas. I’m also a laid-back and relaxed kind of guy.

My philosophy is: ‘Embrace each morning as your last, so you may die in the evening free of regret.’

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I learned about this site from a friend of mine. At first, I thought of it simply as a way to cut accommodation costs while traveling. But as I traveled more, I realized that all the books I read, the websites I browse, and the stories I listen to can’t compare to the information I get from locals. As they say, ‘locals know best!’

This experience changed my mindset. I no longer see Couchsurfing merely as a way to reduce my travel budget (though it still is), but now I view it as an opportunity to immerse myself in local culture, gain new inspiration from conversations with the people I meet, and, of course, make friends from all around the world.
