About Me
ABOUT ME
I'm a simple person, always smiling, very easygoing and ready for new adventures. Love to talk with people and get new friends.
I enjoy fun things.
At the beginning I could seem like a shy person, but when you get to know me and when I feel comfortable with new people around me - I love joking and I let people laugh at me because I have learned laugh at myself!
PHILOSOPHY
"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough"
- Albert Einstein
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My friends are using this opportunity mostly all the time when they are traveling.. So, encouraged by their stories and experiences, last year I tried to surf in New York - for the first time, just by myself - and I found that it's a truly an amazing way how to travel, to meet people and most of all - to see the world.
