About Me

I've always found it difficult to describe myself.
Well, i think of myself as an open and friendly person.
I enjoy meeting new people, talking with them, sharing stories, ideas, views ,discussing about life and almost any subject.
I like making people feel comfortable with themselves and let them express whatever they want.
I prefer a simple and relaxed way of living without stress, a few possessions and many dear people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been told very nice tales from friends who hosted couchsurfers.
I think that offering a couch to a fellow traveler is a way to express ourselves in a very kind and social way.

Currently i am not able to host people in the place i live but i hope this will change in the future when i move to a more suitable house.

Interests

I love our planet and i enjoy staying outdoors preferably in the woods near a river or lake. Spending hours in a natural setting makes me feel whole.

I like sharing lazy days with friends. Preparing meals and eating together, drinking, discussing, coming closer to each other.

I also enjoy dancing (especially disco songs) and finally I love playing boardgames!

I don't read much but some of the reads i really enjoyed are:

I also admire Adrian Tomain's and Guy Delisle's work.
