About Me

Im a firm believer that we only have this life to live and therefore you have to make every second count. Therefore I try to enjoy life as much as possible and enrich my life with great experiences and awesome people. People normally sum me up as ambitious, goal orientated, sophisticated and loyal, I myself feel that I´m very easy going, friendly and open-minded.. I love to travel, to embrace new cultures, meeting new people, learning new languages, trying new foods, new lifestyles, etc

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend and I decided to rent a car and travel from Paris to Berlin and back again through multiple countries. We would like to meet some local people and experience the city as a citizen and not just a tourist
