About Me

Hi there!

I am kind of a nomad. Everything I own fits a backpack and it never stays in one place for too long. I usually live, work and travel all at the same time.

I am really easygoing and flexible. Almost never worried about anything at all. Always craving for an adventure. Very open-minded. I love to question ideas with a critical mind.

I enjoy living in the present. I am mostly time and location independent. I embrace absolute freedom and this is the most precious thing to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love hosting people from all over the world and showing them around my place (wherever that is). I also enjoy staying with locals while travelling as it provides great insights into a foreign culture. Meeting and going out with couchsurfers is always fun as most of them have out of the ordinary backgrounds and fascinating stories to tell! I am also often looking for travel partners as I never stay in one place for too long...
