I'm a little shy, but when I get to know people that I don't know, I'll become more friendly.
If there's a football table in the surroundings, I feel always play, I am a herb tea lover, always searching for new potions.
I don't like taste the food while I cook and I don't like do the same way for coming back, prefer always a different one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately I don't have a place where to host people, but I hope to do it one day!

I surfed in Paris, Kassel, New York, Tallinn, Vilnius, Riga, Saint Petersburg, Coimbra and Porto.
Then, thanks to Couchsurfing, I found my flat in Wrocław, which was really cool!
