About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hiking and rock climbing around the world.

ABOUT ME

I am just an IT girl, but always on some kind of mission (or planning one) that involves traveling and meeting a wide variety of people.

PHILOSOPHY

It is better to do something and regret it later, than doing nothing. Life is about taking chances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and hosting! I enjoy showing guests around and listening to their stories - it is like passive traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can honestly say I have only had great CS experiences, everyone I have stayed with and everyone I hosted has been a pleasure.

Interests

Active and passive traveling, the world has so many interesting places and people, I want to see and meet them all.
I am addicted to reading - a way of seeing the world through other people's eyes.
Always ready to go out with friends and do silly things.
I have also recently started cycling and want to combine my cycling and travelling as a new way to experience places.
