About Me

What I love to do..sailing, cycling , hiking, photography, hanging with my friends, diving, make jewelry, Dancing
I love to learn about new cultures and the history of the countries I visted

There is much more that I like but it would better to share that in person ;) and also a lot more things I've never done before that I want to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn about people, people who you otherwise maby never get in contact with.
Learn about how you enjoy your life and how not ;), what fascinates you, what moves you? Music? Art? Nature? Silence? People? Animals? A Career? Or ?
What makes you travel and what makes you stay where you are.

I only hosted a few times because I haven't been home much. But almost back, can't wait to host you and listen to your stories!
