Since April 2022, I have been traveling around the world by bicycle. I don’t have a final destination or an end date – I try to follow my heart and enjoy every day, without thinking too much about the future 😊

What I love most about traveling by bike is the feeling of moving at exactly the right pace. You see how people live, notice the small things, and life becomes simple in the best way – finding a place to sleep, looking for water, etc. Along the way, I’ve started using Couchsurfing and I’m truly grateful for all the beautiful encounters it has brought into my life.

I would describe myself as respectful, friendly, and easy-going. I’m curious about the world and the people in it – I love connecting, sharing stories, and learning from different perspectives, but I’m also happy spending time on my own. Coffee, good food, being active, nature, animals, and books make me happy. Recently, I’ve also been trying to bring more yoga and meditation into my daily life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my experience the encounters with people – both locals and other people – are the most lasting memories, and they are what makes the journey unique. And as I spend a lot of time on my own – cycling and camping – it's nice to have company in between.
