I am not a night/party-person at all.
I go to bed early, like my grandmother.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

... to make friends everywhere in the world!
and learn about different cultures and different languages.

Interests

I love being in nature. either in the mountains or by the ocean.
I am passionate about sunrise yoga sessions followed by a surf in the morning, spending time with friends, art projects, pottery, hiking, spending time by a waterfall and going on roadtrips. I love meeting new people and making new friends wherever I go.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like watching nature documentations. David Attenborough. I don't watch a lot of movies.

I love ambient music, my favorite composer is Ludovico Einaudi.

Books about self development! Anything where I can learn about health, mind and body.
