I'm a fun-loving and free-spirited youngster with a passion for travel, nature and literature. I love being outdoors, and try to keep doing new things everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives me the chance to experience the places I visit from a more local, authentic viewpoint than the average tourist. I also love meeting new people with travel tales and philosophical insights of their own to share with me.
