Overview
About Me
I am a calm and friendly person and I believe the world is full of good-hearted people (and I am fortunate to have met some of them). Curious, easy-going, always have something to talk about. People say I am kind; I like to think so too.
I am "Friends" and "Seinfeld"' kind sense of humour :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The most wonderful acquaintances I've had were random, on-instinct meetings. And that often happens when you step out of the conventional travel routes and get to know the local people. I know it may sound cliché but I do love hearing stories because to me it is the essence of traveling and not just seeing places. I believe Couchsurfing is the future of traveling.
Interests
I like to play piano, write short travel stories and read classics and modern literature. Travel for me is a way to get to know the world better and to see myself deeper. I'm interested in different world religions and respect them equally. I love hikes in nature and all up for a beautiful scenery.
My quirky interest is doors and have a collection of pictures from all around the world.
