Think what really matters in life is those around you. Born very shy, but learn and gradually love to interact with people. Human beings are truly fascinating! I can be many things, considerate, rational, funny, serious, crazy, impromptu, it all depends on who am I with and the chemistry. While I don't confine myself to comfort zone, I also like to think things thru. Little angle and devil live inside my head.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love listening and sharing (not necessarily)travel stories with fellow trampers. Can't have enough cultural exchange. And most importantly, because Happiness is only real when SHARED.
