About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to see as much in life as possible.. to visit every country, or at least make a friend from every country in the world.

ABOUT ME

I am one of the most friendly people, most people ever meet. I love to travel. One of my big life goals is to spend some time in 100 different countries. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about different histories.

I love animals. I own one cat that has been several places with me.

PHILOSOPHY

my life is the search not a discovery

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
