Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This past summer I had my first couchsurfing experiences. It was awesome, I really enjoyed meeting people, and through the people really getting to know a country.
Meeting all these different people and learning about other cultures really broadens my horizon and helps me to relate to others.

Interests

In my free time I love to go running or hiking. I'm a very active person, I often go see a play or a movie, I read a lot of books, I love to travel. While traveling I really like to enjoy both nature and culture, socialize wih the locals, get to know the language, the people and their habits. I'm into sustainable living and heathy foods.
