I'm part creative, part nerd, I love getting to know people and discovering what they're into. As well as engaging in conversation, I also like my own time and space and try to stay aware of others' needs for space too. I've been known to be spontaneous, adventurous, up for trying new things and to go with the flow. I enjoy art and museums, markets, parties and festivals, the outdoors, swimming, getting lost, getting around by bicycle and discovering local food and drinks. In my spare time I like to design and build light sculptures, read and watch films to relax.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love to meet locals and learn about their way of life no matter where I am. I also like to welcome strangers, to be of service and contribute to others when I can, to make new connections and view where I live newly in a different light through their eyes.
