About Me

I try to travel a lot; discover new places and meet up with local people. I like to drink a beer and have a chat; at home, in a bar, beneath the stars? I'm always up for a nice story about your country or the amazing places you have been to.
I love spontaneous and adventurous trips :)

My backpack adventures are focused on nature and remote areas. I try to avoid the bigger cities.

In my daily life I work with dogs. I love animals, especially: dogs, cats, horses and all kinds of wildlife.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet amazing people from other countries. I like to get to know their culture and habits.
Also, I love to show other travelers where I live.

Interests

I'm into nature and wildlife.
Besides travelling and adventures, I love horseback riding, diving (got my PADI Open Water) and snorkeling, hiking, mountain biking, painting, (ballroom)dancing, yoga and being surrouned by friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe I did too many amazing things. Each trip I went on was unforgettable and has its own highlights.... I can't make a decision!

- Travelling through Croatia for almost 2 months. Wild camping and made amazing hikes.
- Diving on multiple localities in the red sea.
- My ride on a young, wonderful stallion on a beach in Costa Rica. This ride was the horse's first time on the beach and we both enjoyed galloping along the coast so much.
- Ziplining through the rainforest of Costa Rica.
