I want to see the world, make the best out of every day and collect valuable experiences and precious moments with extraordinary people.🌻

Cherishing the little things, good laughs with friends, feeling warm sunrays in a tired face, long talks with strangers at a shabby bar at midnight, the smell of blossoming flowers, the sound of wind moving trees and leaves in a forest, the reflection of the sun in a calm lake, seeing your friends and family happy, intense hugs that make your heart beat faster, making others smile, driving into the sunset with loud music playing in the radio, singing in the car, being in nature, smiling at old pictures, meeting old friends again and realising nothing has changed between you, petting an excited dog with a wagging tail, seeing a shooting star in the night sky, spontaneously going anywhere and discovering new places.

I would describe myself as a life-enthusiast, an open-minded, spontaneous, laid-back, curious, adventurous, caring and sensitive person who loves to laugh, is genuinely interested in other people and their lives, always wants to learn something new, see more, try out everything, make new friends, look at the positive side of things and who likes to help, make others smile and stand out from the masses.

I highly value mutual respect, keeping an open mind, sincerity, consent, curiosity about each other, sharing and good humour.

My intention is to meet interesting people, make new friends all over the world and experience real life, adventures, hospitality and friendship. Sharing really is caring in my opinion and I like to share happiness, hugs and laughs.

I tend to live my life day to day, as you never know what might unexpectedly happen, I like to believe everything is possible if you really want it enough. Sometimes you can't plan life just happening (also I'm not that good at planning to be honest).

I get along pretty well with most people, I want to understand their views rather than just judging them and am curious and happy to learn something from their attitude towards life. I generally love to immagine myself as a composition of a piece of every person I've spent time with and every experience I've had the opportunity to make.

"Every person I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from them."
You have so much to offer thanks to the unique compound of your upbringing, background, education and personal experiences, so why not share that with others?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm eager to meet new people with interesting and diverse backgrounds, as every person might convey a new point of view on life and change one's mindset. I also want to discover how people live and what the locals' customs are while travelling, rather than being surrounded only by tourists in boring hotels. The possibility of friendly hosts showing me their city and giving tips on where to eat or what to visit is also a great plus side! :)

Meeting people from all over the world is like travelling myself through insights into other cultures.

In general, I love the idea of CS - just sharing without expecting anything but respect and friendship in return.

Interests

Adventure | Physical Activity | Nature | Thrill-seeking | Extraordinary people and Experiences | Self-improvement | Exploration | Languages and Cultures

Going on adventures, sometimes doing risky and crazy things, being in nature admiring what our planet has to offer. Also a fan of swimming, skiing, hiking, Via Ferrata and ready to try out new kinds of sport or free time activities.
I like to go out for good (vegan) food, sometimes dancing all night long, as well as staying home, watching movies, reading an interesting book, visiting museums or cooking together. Passionate about lifelong learning, self-improvement, deep conversations, questioning norms and reflecting about god and the world. Constantly pushing myself out of my comfort zone and discovering my own limits.

I'm basically enthusiastic about everything in this wonderful world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always eager to learn, discover and experience new things! I’m addicted to lifelong learning and finding out about other humans’ passions.
