Hello, I'm Gaia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In order to get the feeling to really have been to a place it is much nicer to stay at somebody's home rather than at an impersonal hotel which could be found, exactly like this, in every other big city.
The pleasure to be welcomened as somebody's guest and to welcome travelers at your own home adds a feeling of openess and ease to travelling.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing stories and gaining an insight into a way of life very different to your own seem valuable to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since I studied portrait painting I like to draw sketches of people I encounter whilst travelling. No guarantee for sugarcoating! ;)
