Mainly, I am an artist. I draw, I paint and I tattoo for a living. And at the moment I'm starting an online business so that I can travel more and share my gifts with the World.
I enjoy Silence, quiet and solitude, but also I love to hear great stories, share experiences and make new friends! I love authentic connection, playing, laughing and dancing (not so much in clubs though).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new here, so I'm sorry that I don't have many references yet.
I love travelling, I love meeting new people and seeing the places from a different angle. I enjoy hanging out with locals and getting to know about the hidden secrets of each place. I have mostly travelled staying in hostels, but now, since I'm taking a break from work to travel around the world and do some soul searching, I am looking to stay on a low budget and use this amazing website to not only find places to sleep, but to connect to lovely people from all over the world!
