I travel to learn more about myself and the world. Through exploration of the outside world, I expand my inside world and get rid of thought patterns or mental blocks and restrictions that stops me living fully and truly. Eventually I want to get closer to understanding what it means to be a living conscious being.

I also travel to make memories, stories, have adventures, laugh, learn, make friends. Make the most of this crazy life we have.

I love couchsurfing for this because I love connecting with new people and learning who they are. Its also the best way to get to know a place - im not much of a tourist and don't really enjoy looking at old buildings. I want to feel the city from a local. Or just get to know the people that make the city special. I've had an amazing time couchsurfing, I've had crazy experiences (such as breaking into a festival), deep chats about life, silly chats about nothing, and made friends all around Europe. As your hostee, I am up for anything, whether you want a quite evening, crazy evening or prefer to keep to yourself - I'm really flexible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to meet new people, learn from them and laugh with them. This feels more like what life is about.
We would also like to host once we have our own places.
