About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to go through life with cotton candy and a balloon.

ABOUT ME

She's a spontaneous, humourous, uncomplicated girl who wants to understand and see the world. She loves sharing - no matter if words, stories, food - and what she estimates most are the small things in life that happen to you unexpectedly.
She gets goose-skin when she when she has the privilege to get soaked into a wonderful conversation, when her camera softly clicks capturing a pretty motif, when a sea-breeze blows around her nose, when she attends a good concert, when the red curtain opens for a nice, little independent movie, when she has the chance to be in nature, when she sees a self-dibbled plant growing and when she holds a train ticket in her hand.
[And she doesn't know why she's wrting about herself in 3rd person.]

PHILOSOPHY

Share, teach and respect every being around you.
It's as simple as that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been the most enriching travelling experience in my life so far and I wouldn't ever choose a different way of travelling.
Meeting people and finding the beauty in exchanging with them is like a treasure box.

Interests

I have a very positive attitude towards life and cherish everything that comes along my way. Very much I enjoy photography and culture in general. But when I can spend time with people just enjoying the perfect moment, that's when you can't see me any happier.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't like superlatives. Just give the status of something being "amazing" to the little things you do every day - no matter if you free a ladybug by opening the window, if you learn the etymology of a word, if you smile at someone in the metro or if you prepare a salad in your kitchen - and your life is amazing every day!
