CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, see more of the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back, sometimes quiet and always open-minded person. I enjoy meeting new people, especially from other parts of the world.

I enjoy doing pretty much anything outdoors or active.

I also enjoy pretty much any kind of board or card game. I think they're a great, and fun way to foster interaction between strangers.

My profession is web design/development and I always look forward to meeting others in the field since I am the only tech person in my office.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you'd wish to be treated. We're all in this together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing (eventually), meeting travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What can I say, after 1+ year of hosting plus doing a bit of surfing myself I have to confess that Couchsurfing is one of the greatest things I've ever decided to take part in. I've met so many awesome people and enjoyed every single guest or host along the way that I would have never met otherwise.
