About Me

I love to travel solo. It really allows me to venture off and connect with where I am. And I believe deeply that removing the various safety nets in life are how you find out who you truly are and where you belong in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm exchange student and I'm going to Nantucket from May 14 till september. This is the first trip abroad

The main goals of my visit are cultural exchange and search for new friends. I want to learn more about life in other countries, to tell something interesting about my country and I think that couchsurfing is the best way to do it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

most recent amazing thing was seeing Machu Picchu - totally indescribable. I think I'll add to that exploring the South Island of New Zealand - what a wonderful place filled with wonderful people! And my granddaughter, grandsons and my kids are pretty amazing too!
