In a nutshell

● I am a traveller not a tourist. ●

I to travel unconventionally and for the rest of my life.

Not into parties per'se (unless it is a trap dj gig and then I will be in the moshpit) more into frolicking, reading and observing cultures.

I don't drink nor smoke nor do drugs BUT this does not at all mean I am religious, not fun (I will outdance you) or anything like that - just a personal choice I made. If you do all of these things I do not judge you nor will make you feel bad so please don't judge me either or pressure me.

Some days I will spend doing nothing but reading or sitting in a cafe. Other days going on a spontaneous adventure. I am up for freedom and no control but also to make the most of my time in the place I am in. I don't plan things mostly so don't be shocked

I like to think I am easy to get along with- maybe we'll cross paths!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To obviously bypass the nuisance of informal travelling and get with the locals and also one day offer my place as a sleep den (housemates say no)
Also naturally I am extremely shy, but I love getting to know people- so what better way then knocking on the door of a complete stranger and spending time with them in their natural habitat!

AND FOR YOU! Meet the locals - you guys all know the best things to discover and to do! It is nice to be somewhere homely during your travels and to either share a meal together and to share a moment in time! Honestly couchsurfing has changed my life and my perspective on humanity, the generosity of complete strangers has been completely out of the kindness of their souls! I suppose only travelers themselves do this kind of thing, so I have only had one awkward encounter with a male in Paris that made me feel a tad violated, but it taught me to have courage and to trust my instinct and gut about complete strangers.
Remember for me it is a vulnerable moment to be with you in your environment, like how it must be for you to trust me. I understand it and do my best to respect your boundaries and privacy as you do with me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to dance wherever you are without drugs or alcohol.
I would love tips on easiest way to get around and where the tourist traps are so I can avoid them

I am here to hang out with you - as everywhere you are and go someone wants a vacation from it - so I hope to bring some foreignness into your routine... and also get to know you. I don't ever treat the space like a hotel and I also don't like having a host not really taking the time to hang out.... that sucks!
Also i may need alone time too to just go exploring by myself, please don't ever be offended, it is just the introvert in me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My joy and overtly excitable nature- but at the same time I'm a very chilled out person and just go with the flow.

I will not have sexual relations with any host - so please don't if you're a nudist - someone just wanting me there to make sexual advances on etc offer to host me.
