About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finishing my masters degree

ABOUT ME

It's not always easy to describe yourself, but I'm deep inside an ambitious perfectionist that needs a lot of actions to feed the spirit. Always looking for stupid adventoures as well as a good book to read. It's always Yin and Yang, black and white.

PHILOSOPHY

Take a deep breath of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting new people and surfing couches. Unfortunately not able to host so far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome! I learned a lot, shared some stuff. did amazing things and even one of my hosts safed my life. So many legends out there. Travelling without meeting locals and getting to know their culture and lifestyle is not the right way to travel for me.
