I'm curious, friendly and open-minded. I like people, but as an introvert I'm typically not super talkative around new people. I believe I'm a good listener though, always interested in hearing stories and learning from others.

I try not to take anything for granted and to never stop questioning my beliefs. I also try not to take myself too seriously

I'm also well behaved, tidy and try to be of as little trouble as possible. It's the least I can do to show my respect for hosts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to experience authentic culture and meet new people. I find day-to-day-life in a different culture much more interesting than a touristy vacation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most vivid memory of my travels is snorkling in the Red Sea. The underwater view was breathtaking; it was like a vast aquarium. There were barracudas, triggerfish, wrasses, sohals, etc. The water was blue and clear, the corals vibrant. I even saw a small sting ray. That experience left me in awe and wanting to be able to see more colors. It was amazing.
