I was brought up to think right and wrong, black and white - without thinking to examin the grey area. It made it hard for me to open up to strangers or to feel comfortable outside my comfort zone. Now, that I'm a bit older and perhaps wiser (you can skip that), I've learned that judging people is an excuse for not really getting to know them and most of all don't really let them know you.

By traveling alone, I have come to realize the grey areas are worth examining and that it is not that hard to trust people - and that trust is the key to great new experiences! I found that I love to meet new people and that it can be easy to open up to the great unknown - if you follow your basic instincts and stay true to your authentic self.

I get inspired by life stories - the good, the bad and all in between! I get lifted by positive people who easily smile, see how beautiful life is and appreciate the little things. I love to make people laugh. When it's appropriate and most of all when it's not ;-). Life needs to be lived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

If you love someone - set them free.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a morning person, responsible, clean and adjust easily. I never take hospitality for granted, find it important to contribute something like doing housework or help out. I like most animals, not very keen on watch dogs though. I enjoy being outside more than staying in, not a party animal but good company for a conversation!
