About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find happiness in this busy world

ABOUT ME

A bit quiet sometimes but good companion, friend and crazy person with specific, Pratchett/Monty Python sense of humour when you know me better. Love travelling, visiting big cities and finding inspiration in them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people from different countries and cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I began my CS experience in September 2007- I hosted a girl from HKG- great meeting, found new friend and we stay in touch (and met in HK again).
In dec 07- jan 08 I couchsurfed in Hong Kong, Macau and Bangkok- the trip was incredible and unforgettable. I made many friends and experienced great new things.
I continue hosting at my place whenever it is possible and I'm also active on HospitalityClub
