About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring and discovering new cultures

ABOUT ME

I love to learn and try new things. My experiences so far traveling have given me a glimpse of the amazing things and people that the world has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday should be filled with pure happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing and CS meetups. I am trying to meet at least one couchsurfer from each city I visit. Once I get a bigger apartment, I will try to host travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My limited CS experiences have involved people from diverse backgrounds. The more I travel, the more I learn how little I know about the world.... So I'll probably be asking CSers many questions to learn more about the world.

Interests

I'm interested in learning about people and the various cultures that exist in the world. My passions are languages, food, running, cycling, swimming and any other exciting adventurous activity.
