I'm a bubbly and open-minded person. Having grown up in a rural village I'm a nature lover, optimist and dreamer of a better world. I'm very active, always looking for new challenges. I love my family and I have the best friends on this planet!! I laugh a lot and have trained myself not to be embarrassed about almost anything anymore- life it too short to care what others think about you so just have a good time! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The concept of opening your home to a stranger and sharing a part of your lives for a while is simply wonderful.
I believe that everyone has something interesting to tell or teach so why not open your home and hearts to new exciting people?

Interests

Sports: (Running, rock climbing, swimming,dancing)Snowboarding, Skiing, having a snow fight.
Everything that takes place in nature: Hiking, camping, bonfires,spending time at the beach or just lying in the grass and read a book. Spending time with my friends and family and just hang out,play board games,cook together, go to the theatre or for drinks.
I have a licence for micro-light planes and love to get in the air every now and then.

Philosophizing about life while having a glass/bottle of red wine.
I love the ability of communicating in different languages and would love to learn as many as possible while I'm around. I'm interested in different cultures and keen to find out more about the spiritual beliefs of people all around the world.
And most important: my big passion traveling- preferably backpacking and camping but also keen to do it on foot, by camel, van or boat.
