About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mysteries are great until the day you understand them.

ABOUT ME

I love to meet new people and discover new things. When I go to some place new, I take my camera with me to look closer at beautiful things. They are where you least expect them.

I love to learn from others, and to tell my opinion, so I love discussions. I also love nice food, especially one makes the time to prepare it nicely.

My biggest interest is to philosophize about daily things and find the humour in them, why can things be so beautiful and funny at the same time?

PHILOSOPHY

Do not live as a sheep. Do your own thing. Everything is possible, as long if you really want it!
Don't be scared of anything, just look your target in the eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's great that just having a couch can make life more interesting. I love to meet new people and I mostly get along with everyone! As long as they can inspire me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I like to travel but I like to be comfortable too, so that's why a give my couch-surfers a comfortable couch. The nicest thing about it is the people who host, they are the keys to discover a city, no tourist office has ever been better than a couch-surfer with experience.

People say I would be a good psychologist. I love to analyse characters and talk about behaviour of people.
