About Me

Hi!
I'm a traveler who finds joy in exploring new places and meeting fascinating people along the way. For me, travel isn't just about ticking off destinations, it's about immersing myself in the local culture and seeing the city through the eyes of its citizens.
Nature and animals hold a special place in my heart, especially dogs. Unfortunately, I don't have one (yet!), but I will definitely be a happy dog mom someday.
I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it's hiking in scenic landscapes or simply strolling through a park. If you know of any picturesque spots with ducks in your city, I would love to visit them!
Music is another passion of mine. I love attending live concerts and soaking up the energy they bring. Lately, some of my favorite artists on my playlist include Glass Animals, Alt-J, Vivienne Mort, Hozier, Go_A, Tember Blanche, Apashe, Jungle, Dakh Daughters (but there are many more, I'm sure I've forgotten some). If you share a similar passion for music or have any recommendations, I'll be happy to hear them!
When it comes to food, I'm always eager to sample diverse cuisines and find interesting local bars. If you have any suggestions for great food spots or cool bars in your city, I'm all ears :)
In social situations, I tend to be more of a listener than a storyteller, but everything depends on the situation and the company, of course. I believe that everyone has a unique story to share, and I'm always interested in learning from others and engaging in conversations. So, whether it's swapping travel stories or simply enjoying each other's company, I look forward to the experiences we can create together.
If you're looking for a curious and open-minded couchsurfing guest, I'd be thrilled to meet you and share unforgettable moments together!
