ABOUT ME

27, a student of life, interested in just about everything. Travel, cultures, arts, languages, history, literature, movies, politics etc etc. In love with brief encounters with interesting people and long-standing close relationships. Foodie, backpacker, hitchhiker. Want to travel the world and world peace. (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“Anyone can find places, but the finding of people is a gift from God.” E. M. Forster

Because I love people of all shapes and sizes. I've participated in lots of different hospitality exchanges and they always turned out great and were the best way to get to know people, their personalities, their lives, their cultures and their countries. Meeting people is basically my favourite thing about travelling.
