About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying not to get completely broke on plane tickets, concerts and travel :p

ABOUT ME

According to my sister I'm 6 years old (sometimes she "degrades" me to 4 or 5), cause I get happy about things that may have no meaning to others ;) I love absurd sense of humour.

I caught the "travelling bug" in November 2013 on a short trip to London and the following summer during my First Big Trip - 6 days of travelling alone through Italy (also first CS experience!).
I love the feeling of getting of a bus/train/plane and suddenly finding myself in a completely different place than before, where everything is fascinating. I mostly enjoy "getting lost", just walking around without some special purpose, it's the best way to discover the unexpected! I love ruins, castles, old buildings, industrial places, train stations, bridges and tunnels xD

PHILOSOPHY

Always get out at the earlier stop and walk the rest of the way, instead of going too far and going back (never go back!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of 'unofficial' hosting experience, our flat used to be very busy with guests, friends of friends staying over etc.
CS all positive so far, it's brilliant :) I really enjoy seeing new places through somebody else's eyes, it's always fascinating! I made some new amazing friends and I found the most beautiful city in the world - Genova <3

Got up in the morning :p

Show me your favourite place and I will show you mine :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you why Genova is the most amazing city I've ever seen ;)

Also, I have this secret power that when I walk around with someone in their city, the place they know very well, somehow together we always discover something they hadn't known/noticed before :)
