Crazy cat lady. I am a calm, but friendly and sociable little person. Passionate about history, expecially medieval. Love travelling, drinking coffee, reading books (so many of them, so little time), hiking, blowing bubbles and baking cookies. I love animals, not only cats, but foxes, squirrels, dogs, hedgehogs, birds... ALL of them.

I'm a tireless tourist, I love to walk and wander, so big distances don't discourage me - you're always welcome to join me in my explorations.
I have two big travel plans (or rather dreams) to realise - doing El Camino de Santiago and a tour of the Gothic cathedrals in France. Also, I would like to spend at least a few months in Spain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the best thing you can do while travelling is meeting other people and making friends all over the world.
