About Me

I'm traveling around our beautiful world since April 2015! I just wanted a break from my everyday life, so I terminated my employment, sold my car and boarded the next airplane to Istanbul.

18 countries later and I still don't regret my decision, on the contrary, I'm having the best time of my life right now! All these amazing countries I've seen, it's truly a wonderful world we're living in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wherever I go I like to meet locals and learn how they live, eat and work.
And of course I like making new friends and having a good time.
