About Me

ABOUT ME: Finally I can take the train all the way to Scotland to see my friend who lives there, a trip I’m doing in July. I always treasured those small moments when travelling, going with the same sweaty bus as locals do, ending up in some odd place where every-day-life takes place, just grocery-shopping or coincidentally meeting a new person and ending up somewhere you could never have predicted. At the moment I’m working in an environmental organisation and also a freelancing comic artist. I like to try to learn new things, experience new places and meet new people. I always want to keep curiosity going in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like you never get to know a place until you meet someone who lives there. To me life is more about genuine experiences than consuming products or searching for luxury. This is a way to try to do that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
When I’m a new place where I don’t know anyone I often look up CS events. I also stayed a couple of times with couchsurfers. So far I haven’t hosted many since I live in a small one room apartment.
