I'm rather quite guy when meeting me for the first time. I usually need some time to "warm-up" with new people but I'm getting more talkative when finding some common ground. I savor food and alcoholic beverages and am always interested in experience new, local tastes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new especially local people while traveling. It's also nice to get ideas for discovering a city from a different point of view than just a normal guide and getting to know more about day to day life.

We, my sister and I, had a wonderful experience in Belgium last year. It was the first time for me to use couchsurfing and our host was more than happy to tell us about the town and its "secret" locations. We went out to try different types of beer and went to a small local brewery eventhough he was working all day long. We would have never gotten to experience the City and our stay the way we did if it wasn't for him and I'm looking forward for more such trips!
