I'm a compassionate, curious person with a wide range of interests, open to what life brings, excited to befriend with everyone. Above all, I value respect and harmony. Thus, I am, or at least can be, easygoing up to a "certain point" after which I become overly direct, painfully blunt. Oopsie!

That said, my energy is best suited for meaningful, quality encounters. All are welcomed except you're an extreme party enthusiast / an energy-drainer / solely a fling seeker. I am not the companion you are looking for. 🧄

Time is short and too precious to waste
and works for me in two ways: its length is set by the rhythm of the sun, but its depth comes from the rhythm of passion. With each interaction, I figure out what fuels that passion, learning more about humanbeings and me. I believe every person is a mirror, showing us something about who we are and what we would like to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love making new friends from all over the world and exchanging experiences. It's utter fun to discover new places together.
During my travel, I dive into the local culture, engage with friendly locals, learn their customs, talked their language and listen to their fascinating stories and insights. It's all about getting to know the heart and soul of each community.
