About Me

I grew up all over the world, changing countries pretty much every 4 years.
Name a country and there's a 95% chance I either lived there or visited it.

I speak 5 languages, but master none.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most of all, I want to meet new people. I want to know the people from the places, cities, countries I visit. That's what traveling is about: understanding local cultures.
I could stay in a cheap hostel but that wouldn't be the same.

I have to admit though, I've add MUCH more luck staying at local people's place just by talking with strangers than by being accepted on CS. Which is why I don't end up using it that much

I always take time to read people's profile before sending them a request.
I expect the same when I get a request. Prove it by sharing something personal about yourself in the first message you send me.

Interests

I love anything related to mountains! Hiking, climbing, mountaineering, paragliding, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding...
If i settle somewhere one day, it will be close to mountains.

I'm also a big believer in organic sustainable farming and permaculture.
I do a lot of wwoofing to help farms.
