I guess I am quite friendly and curious. Normally peaceful except in road traffic. Pretty calm but interested in other people's stories and points of view. Not religious. Vegetarian. Dreadful cook (ask my friends and family). Even more dreadful singer (ask the neighbours). I love black humour and chilly weather. Good at getting into odd situations (for example getting locked in the university library or starting the emergency alarm in the student's refectory) and taking them with humour. Bad at filling out this field.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

music: actually I'm not that keen about music, so I can't really answer that point
