Just moved from 4 months living in Bali. I am now in Europe again, traveling for 3 months and getting life set up in several aspects, in regards to study and work.

I am open minded for cultural differences and constantly willing to learn about cultural practices and international topics.
I consider privacy and respect essential when Couchsurfing, so I make an effort to understand and collaborate within the boundaries set by hosts.

someone who is now long dead once wrote ‘the world is a book, and those who don’t travel read only one page.’ what no one tells you is that the book is no easy read. there’s one thing I can say: whatever it is that you are looking for - beauty, salvation, enlightenment, danger, or just to disappear - this will only be a fraction of what you find. I’m just trying to read the whole book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't consider Couchsurfing as a mechanism to get free accommodation. More than that, I believe in reciprocity. Couchsurfing is for me a great opportunity to approaching local people, learn their traditions and see things through another point of view. In this experience, I would like to share what I've accumulated in this life as a traveller.

I never hosted someone through CS platform, but already met some couchsurfers to hang out in my town.
I also hosted people from official exchange programs, coming from Denmark ( 4 months), Taiwan (3 months), and students from Mexico and Germany for a short period.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Chicama to surf the longest wave of the world - definitely the best wave of my life. A moment of simplicity and full happiness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to share my travel experience over 30 countries in the past 14 years. From all kinds of experiences, styles of traveling and accommodation, activities, good and bad lucks. I am happy to tell you good stories and maybe help you planing your next trip.
If you need help translating, count on me. If you need some help over your places, such as gardening, painting, and general organising, I love doing this type of homework!
