ABOUT ME

adventurous, witty (I hope), exploratory.

PHILOSOPHY
Traveling is self-discovery

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet new people. I've also hosted several people and enjoyed showing them around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some very nice people from Germany, France, Scotland, Asia etc and went to some CS meetings where I met great people from all over the world and who have already become great friends. In Oct/Nov 2010, I fulfilled a longtime dream of mine and went to the United States for 3 1/2 weeks. If it hadn't been for CouchSurfing I wouldn't have met all those amazing people who I hope to meet again in the nearby future.
