CURRENT MISSION:
Broaden my limits, grow as a person, share and give as much as I can.
Enjoy life of course:)

At the moment I am on an around the world trip (for half a year). The idea is to do a big hike in each part of the world. One is completed now - the Drakensberg in Africa (Northen Traverse)

E- extrovert

K- keen on stuff I do

H - humourous (it's crucial for me)

E - energetic

T - tolerant

S - spontaneous (to some extent)

I - initiative (cant just sit and wait till something happens)

K - kind

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always dreamt about travelling the world, but not the way people usually do. Differently.
So that...

.... you really experience what life in this or that place is like

.... you meet real people and make real friends

.... you do whatever you want but not what is planned for you

.... you share with people on the way and learn a lot from them

.... you travel but not play the role of a traveller

Will you help me with that? :)
