Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Infinitely positive!

Couchsurfing reaffirms my belief that people are generally good and want the best for eachother. A fantastic way to meet really interesting people and discover the rhythm of a new place.

Globalisation at its best!

Interessen

I get SUPER EXCITED about cycling, running and eating good food.
I'm happiest outside.. on the beach, in the mountains or getting lost in the city.

I also enjoy making art.. collages, illustrations, drawing portraits of friends and I love printmaking (lino and woodcut, mostly)

Living in foreign cities: Berkeley, Berlin, Barcelona.. for some reason they all start with B..
