I'm a really outgoing, positive and calm guy who enjoys meeting new people and learn about new cultures and languages.

I'm currently studying adventure tourism. Most of my free time i'm usually working but when i have free time, hiking or learning languages is what i usually spend my time doing, recently i also started doing some wall climbing.

I also love diving, it's like another planet down there !!

Im not really a party person but i do like having meaningful conversations about any topic really, whilst enjoying a glass of good beer or wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a few times and it just seems like a perfect way to get to meet new people and learn new cultures while at the same time teach them about your culture and traveling experiences.

I also love the Couchsurf meetings so i try to go to them as much as i can.

Interests

I love the nature and all kinds of history is interesting , i'm also passionate about learning new languages even if it would be just a few words.

I also love to just go with the flow and see where i end up when i travel that's why hitchhiking is my favourite way to travel around.

I love good food of course and trying new types of food.
