I am an easygoing and optimistic person who cares a lot to experience the good things in this one life I have. Being rather openminded, I am interested in other cultures and people and I always found something new and enriching from every person I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had two great experiences with friends Couchsurfing hosts in Greenland and Bulgaria and this motivates me to further meet more open minded, curious and friendly people out there like you ;-)
