Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see and experience as much of the world as possible.
ABOUT ME
I love to travel. There isn't one place in the world I would not like to visit. I love seeing new places, doing new things, trying different food and meeting new people.
PHILOSOPHY
”Try everything at least once”
“Life starts outside your comfort zone”
and
“Never allow waiting to become a habit. Live your dreams and take risks. Life is happening now!”
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I couchsurf to learn more about the locals and the local way of life in the countries I go. When I travel I like to be as local as I can. I travel on local transportation, eat local food and meet local people. It makes travel so much more interesting and enjoyable. Couchsurfing is a brilliant way to get out of hostels and into the community.
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted people from all over the world in the past, both on Couhcsurfing and Warm showers. I will host again when I have a permanent address.
