CURRENT MISSION

Carpe diem.

ABOUT ME

Being a translator and interpreter, I am very much interested in foreign countries and cultures. I particularly enjoy travelling, meeting new people and talking until early morning hours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My place is a bit awkward when it comes to hosting, but we can work it out somehow; I have one not-very-comfortable couch and a double bed in my living room; you could use the couch if you don't mind sharing the same room. In any case, I can only host one person at a time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met dozens of fantastic people thanks to CouchSurfing, and have become good friends with many of them.
