About Me

To explore the world and meet new cultures and see new sights.

I am a dual student at the University of Cooperative Education in Mannheim. My subject is business informatics. I am in my last term.

I'm a very happy person who laughs a lot, it's really easy to make me happy. I believe that every person has something good and beautiful on them, so I see most things very optimistic. I am a friendly, honest and happy person.
I love to meet new people and I enjoy being there for them. I'm a strong believer of friendship and I'm always looking for new things to do in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting people twice, surfing whilst away, lots of CS events in:
UK: Leeds, Cardiff, Wakefield, Sheffield
Germany: Mannheim, Heidelberg, Fulda

Sadly I did not always positive experiences with CS hosting and surfing. Some people were unfriendly and rude. I will do everything for CS people to have good and comfortable time.

My first experience on CS was when I decided to visit England in Februar 2014.
I had great hosts, funny and interesting who showed me places that I didn't know even if I was there few years before.
I discovered some food specialities in the same time than one of my host. A great time sharing and the behavior which created my addiction to CS.

But CS for me is not only travel, hosting or being a guest. It's just meet people around a glass, a meal, an activity, a visit but discovering people. Share experiences and knowledge.

I found with CS my best Friend in UK and like to try it everywhere.
