About Me

The advantage of living in a small country in the middle of Europe is that you don’t need to travel long distances to visit other places!
As I studied and volunteered abroad for half of my life I really got to experience different cultures, communicating in different languages and sharing with others. These experiences enriched my way of seeing things, being tolerant and trying to understand other points of view.
After graduating and getting some experiences of communal life, I am currently taking one year off to travel.
I am very curious and always enthusiastic to learn new stuff (be it about cultural identity, practical skills or science). I also appreciate taking some time off in nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

« There are no strangers, only friends you haven't yet met »
I am convinced about the value of traveling and meeting new people. Instead of clinging on to individualism and the need for material comfort, my different travel experiences led me to value above all authenticity and simplicity. I think Couchsurfing is the perfect way to live that.
I try to be open-minded, light-hearted and respectful.
