CURRENT MISSION

to travel the world, explore ideas, experience life, make memories & discover happiness inside

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's an incredible platform to meet like minded & interesting people. Life is a journey & it becomes more immersing if you meet interesting , adventurous & open minded people on your way. I love to share stories/experiences & meet people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Moreover, it's a big help when you move to an unknown part of this planet & accepted by someone friendly, who's willing to show you around. As I discovered in my last trip to Bruges, Belgium (Hilde was awesome!)
I think Couchsurfing pretty much epitomizes how humans should live and understand each other!

Interests

I'm inquisitive by nature & interested in every damn thing! unless of course if you ask me to watch a round of golf or play petanque (a boring french game!)
