Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Already travel a few times with couchsurfing, in Rome, Paris, Alicante and Barcelona. Every time I met cheerful, helpful and hospitable people, with whom it was fun to spend time and discover the city. Not only visiting the place, but also meeting the locals, being able to share stories, get to know their life and surroundins better, gives me a better undestanding of a place and some unforgettful memories. For example, when I came to Rome, probably I'd spend time visiting museums or chilling out in the cafes. It would be good, but much better was to see a live concert of my host and meeting up his friends and cooking Italian food.

Interests

I like to keep myself busy and make plans (even if afterwords 90% of them stays in a deam spheere:) I enjoy travelling (no matter if they are weekend trips in my neighbourhood or in a different country), having a good conversations over a cup of coffee, going for a standing comedy, story-telling event or concert. In my free time I read a lot, I love cooking and having am evening strolls while talking about life:)

Travelling (anytime, anywhere, but not with anyone), reading (I wonderful feeling when I have just come from a bookstore or library with a pile of books), watching films (usually not a main stream cinema) learning languages, going out with friends, leading a good discussion, dancing (aleady started to learn salsa and hope to try also jive), strolling in the forest
