I am extremely open-minded and do my best to become the best version of myself every day. Smiling is a big part of who I am! I am very passionate about meeting new people and learning about their culture/philosophy on life. I love long, meaningful conversations and hearing the wonders people learn about themselves by stepping out of their comfort zones. I embody kindness, friendship, and curiosity. I am also a newfound bookworm and am always looking for great books to read (Goodreads info below). While traveling, I enjoy getting out into nature to hike and explore. I also really enjoy the architecture and feels of big cities. In other words, I love traveling anywhere! I generally decline "copy and paste" requests. I'm all for sharing my apartment but I want to ensure I am hosting people who: - are considerate enough to take the time to read my profile/write a thoughtful request - are looking for something more than just a free place to sleep. That being said, our apartment is your apartment. Please feel free to use all facilities whenever you please. My roommate and I have plenty of pots and pans for you to cook with. We also have pillows and blankets. I have couchsurfed in: - Switzerland - Panama - Cuba - Norway - Denmark - Sweden - Finland I have hosted couchsurfers from: - Russia - Australia - Switzerland - United States - Germany - Canada - Poland - Holland - Colombia - Spain - Nicaragua Expect nothing; appreciate everything!
