A friendly, calm, and observant person. I really enjoy meeting new people and going on spontaneous trips.

I love natural landscapes and being in nature. My favourite hobbies are hiking and horse riding.

I am thoughtful and reflective, a reader, and interested in and open to new ideas and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and to explore new places. Meeting new people is really fun, but also one of the best sources of learning.
