About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Broaden my horizons !

ABOUT ME

I am a psychology student at Reykjavik University. Before I went to university I traveled the world for 6 months. On my way I met the nicest people and stayed on few couches which was awesome.
I love to travel, like probably everybody at this site, so I am very excited to go as an exchange student to Canada next fall.

PHILOSOPHY

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met couple of the nicest people over a cup of coffee in Reykjavik before I started my travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed at two couches, on in Sydney and on in Christchurch. In both cases I couldn't have stayed at better place. Couch surfing is in fact one of the best traveling experiences you can have !

Interests

Travel and getting to know new people and their cultures. Listening to good music, reading a good book, playing football, scuba diving,travelling again and just living the life.
