About Me

I have to go abroad at least a few times a year, so I think one could say I am addicted to travelling. I love meeting new people and learning about new cultures. I am very thoughtful about the cultural differences and find them very interesting.
Hence my master degree in international management may not be a surprise.

I am quite an easygoing person and am in for any kind of activity in general. I love outdoor sports and go to the mountains to hike and camp regularly. Furthermore I like to socialize in company of a drink or food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have not used couch surfing for a few years, but want to pick it up again. I surfed some couches in the USA. Most of those experiences have been great. in my opinion couchsurfing is a great initiative. I would like to become more active in the future (starting now) as a host, and maybe as a surfer too.

The couch surfing experience that i do have are great! All of the people have been really friendly and generous. I would like to return the favor by hosting myself now.
