CURRENT MISSION

Learn new things, travel as much as possible

ABOUT ME

Since I am planning on seeing and travelling as much as I possibly can in my hopefully not too short a life, what better way than to join the travellers community! I am a relaxed person, enjoying life in Shanghai at the moment before moving back to Europe in June. If reading, laughing, sharing travel experiences and advice, juggling, or learning strange and not so strange languages are a passion of yours too, I don't see any reason why we wouldn't get along!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and learn, love and share

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I unfortunately live on campus so am unable to host anyone at the moment but am always happy to grab coffee with travellers anytime!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have Couchsurfed only once but am keen on doing it again as it was a good experience.
