About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Explore the world and meet many interesting people
ABOUT ME
I am working on my Master in Technology Management at the University of Illinois right now. I love traveling and meeting special people from different countries and different backgrounds.
Also I do a lot of sports. Running is my specialty, but I basically like any sport, you name it. I am on the U of I running team and therefore very busy.
And about me in general, I am an active person that likes company and can talk a lot. I can be very sarcastic but I am also a good listener.
PHILOSOPHY
Be the one that kicks dust and not the one who swallows it.
Everything is in your own hands, so its your choice what you make out of your opportunities.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I started surfing several ago and have also hosted a couple of people in the different places I have lived since then. Doing my best to get the most people accommodated.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was on a road trip during the summer of 2011 and one of my friends who I was traveling with organized our places to stay through couchsurfing. It was the best experience in my life so now I am all over it!
After that I surfed a couple of other times and met some people through couchsurfing that I now call my friends.
Interests
I am a passionate runner and do that quite often. I also love all kinds of sport, and I seriously mean all kinds! I love to be outside and enjoy exploring places, nature and cities. And I love interesting life stories.

If I am not on a break from school I don't have time to read anything besides papers and engineering books.
