I am a calm and friendly person. Though I might be a bit shy, I get more sociable and talkative when I'm getting to know people better. I love reading and I am a bit of a book worm :D

I am quite an experienced traveller though and I have hitch hiked a lot and loved it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, traveling is a huge part of my life. And CS is a great thing that helps to meet new interesting people from all over the world. Comparing my travels without CS and with it, I am 100% sure that CS rules!
