About Me

Hello! Im kind of a person who can enjoy a whole day of sitting in a library and then all night at a party. Travel inspires and entices me. My house is like 1hr30min from the city on an average traffic day but id love to host peploe who dont mind the ride. I love art (all kinds, epecially film and literature) and eco turism, especially if it has anything to do with water. Ihave a eep respect for humans and care not about race, religion, sexual orientation etc. If you treat me well, I will respond in kind.

love dogs, cats, fish, birds, cephalopods, cetaceans, and any kind pf wildlife.
sadly my cat hates every living thing on earth.

I ADORE boardgames and videogames.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling with hosts is so different than hotels and hostels because if you take money out of the ecuation, the only reason we help each other is out of a deep need to aid our equals and learn about others that have led different lives from our own.
