I love travelling , literature, photography, cooking & eating delicious vegan food, meditation, yoga, be in nature , drinking coffee and discovering little nice cafés in different towns around the world, meeting new people, learn new things, watch the sunset and walk barefoot.
I'm very inspired by people and their stories and love to learn a little bit every day.
I'm creative and I love to do new things and express myself, either trough writing, making videos, taking pictures, or even cooking. whatever my soul feels inspired to !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
