Overview
About Me
I like to have long conversations with people when I travel to get to know the place and people there. I enjoy storytelling at home as well, I think that stories are that which make our world go round. I also enjoy going to hikes and other offroad places and just wandering around the city to get the feeling. I enjoy adventures and meeting new people, learning new skills, getting to know things more deeply and have good fun.
Currently I'm learning interior architecture, formerly cultural theory and semiotics.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To share the stories! Also I like to get to know the city as good as I possibly can and its people. I want to be in real contact which can only be offered by couchsurfing, either that, or I just would ask people on the streets or other places where I could spend my nights. I don't think that living in hostels and hotels gives me the opportunity to get to know the local soul.
