About Me

I am a friendly, honest and outgoing person, who is passionated about the nature and outdoors. I really like to experience new things, food and places.
After a few months back home for work and to meet friends and family I have departed again to explore Latinamerica and learn Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It gives you the chance to get to know a place by a locals prospective and exchange culture + travel experiences.
It gives the opportunity to intensively breathe in the culture and lifestyle of the area that one visits.
Couchsurfing is a great platform to meet travellers and keep travelling mentally even though you remain in a certain place.
I have made many valuable encounters with couchsurfing and want to gain more of that!
