ABOUT ME I am a Cosmopolitan who has lived in different countries like Brasil, Egypt, Switzerland, Chile and now Austria. Big traveller - about 70 countries and many adventures Very experienced in couchsurfing as host and surfer (compare CS section and my references) After many years and many guests and less time I became a little picky choosing my guests. Please don´t take it personal if i refuse your request without explanation - mostly it is a time issue or a feeling that it doesn´t fit. During the weekend i like going to the mountains for a hike or a cycling tour. People who like to join me, have a higher chances to get accepted :-) During the week I prefer having dinner and/or drinks with some nice talks together.
