❤ AMOR FATI ❤

I am a visual creator and communicator. Culture and language fascinate me and I want to take in all the different people and places to see in this world. That is why I joined CS, to experience more of the world around me.

When I leave the house without my bike I feel naked.

My obsession with style knows no bounds, in particular vintage fashion. I love going to flea markets on the weekend, stalking eBay, and attending clothing swaps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first time I couchsurfed was supposed to be for 1 week. I ended up staying with the host for 1 month, and then in the city for a year. Spontaneity is key!
