About Me

I love learning new things, exploring new places, spending time with friends and family, summertime barbecues, eating in general, red wine, making jokes, cracking myself up with my jokes, growing plants on my balcony,... and I'm totally crazy about dogs!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first joined CS when travelling through Brazil with a friend in 2010. It was a great experience as I met lovely hosts who made our journey even more unforgettable. It's definitely one of the best ways to genuinly get to know a country and meet interesting people. I love how CS can make you feel at home, even though you're far from home.
