Actually a science and computer nerd, but only quietly. I like to go to the cinema, art/music shows, lectures, or whatever will feed my mind. Really passionate about cities, how they're put together and how they can be made better for people. What else? Cooking, gardening, walking, learning languages, partying, and of course reading reading reading ...

That's just "what I do", though, it's not "who I am" ... I'm afraid the only way to learn that is to spend some time with me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined after having a really great (accidental) first time, and every subsequent experience has confirmed for me that it's a great way to travel!
