Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i think it is a great way to get to know people and countries.

Interests

Everything that excites my spirit, such as getting to know these other human beings around me, enjoying our beautiful nature (running, hiking or just strolling around, watching sunsets, sunrises & nightskies ), riding my bike (through my neighbourhood, through beautiful forests, on mountain tops), doing yoga, doing handicrafts, laughing, reading, watching thunderstorms, extending my knowledge (for ex. about healthy food, alternative lifestyles), hanging out with friends, drinking wine or water, sitting at bonfires, listening to someone playing an instrument, exploring countries i've never been to ... :)
