This 2023, I decided to use CouchSurfing again because I want to know more about others' cultures, expand my network, and meet new friends.

Traveling is my passion, and I'm relentless, never tired, and obsessed to discover new places. I'm an adrenaline junkie and a pretty active person. I have completed 2 full marathons (Athens and Prague) and am planning to join more. I'm also trying to learn French and Spanish by myself during my free time.

I love food, and I have an adventurous palate for exotic cuisines, which means that I could practically eat anything edible. I identify myself to have a sweet tooth and enjoy baking. I believe that wine is essential, and I thank God for creating coffee. Cooking hearty meals for my family, friends, and other people is my love language and one way for me to showcase my personality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very interested to learn new a language and culture and have an in-depth look at the place that I visit through the eyes of the locals. Couchsurfing is a great app (until it became cashsurfing) to bridge the gap between travelers.
