About Me

Well, what can I say. I guess you have to meet me in person and have a beer with me to really find out but, in a nutshell, it seems that I'm a curious person who right now is trying to see many different places all around the world.

Also, I love to travel super lightweight and can probably share some tips and tricks about it with you.

FOR SURFERS: I can (almost) always offer you my couch to crash on. But as I'm studying I might not have much time to show you around or hang out, so I like my surfers to be independent. However, I'll give my best to make some time for a beer and a nice dinner together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sure, you can travel the "normal" way. You can pay your fare to have an impersonal journey through this world in the privacy of your own room, where you are guaranteed to not have to interact with others if you don't want.

Or... you can connect with the people in the places you are visiting, experience the world from their perspective, learn about their daily lives, their struggles, their experiences. It's only then that you truly FEEL a place, and get a deeper understanding of what it's like to live there.
