About Me

Most of the time I'm happy and positive, singing a happy tune and smiling at the world :) I am good at taking initiative and organising things, and I enjoy talking with people, good food, going out for activities etc. I like people, animals and nature. I also like to help people, and I am always up for handiwork or manual labor.

I like reading, and can sit for hours engrossed in some story :) I'm very curious and interested in learning new stuff, working out how things are put together and understanding how they work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a sociable person who likes to meet new people, and experience new things. Simple as that :)

I have not been able to travel very much myself, but I host whenever I can and get my share of the world right in the comfort of my own home. Quite a sweet deal while biding time to my own adventures :)
