Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know people and new places and that's exactly why couch surfing is the perfect way to travel.
Keep sharing those vibes (:

Interests

Exploring -not only places but also people and their souls

Reading - Books take my mind to places where my body fails to travel

Baking/Cooking - that's how I release tension and stress

Soap bubbles - I refuse to grow up and always carry some with me

Music - even if my body can't dance my mind sure can

Writing - I guess there's a little poet hidden deep inside of me

Photography - I capture the moments because my memory fails me from time to time and I don't want to forget those happy times

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was back in 2014. A road trip to New York City with a bunch of awesome friends. We had a room at this super fancy hotel with panorama windows, color changing lights and all that modern fancy stuff. I sure did not care about that at all. While everybody was getting drunk and partying in the room, a friend and I tried to get access to the roof. I thought it would be much harder to climb a NYC rooftop but it wasn’t hard at all. All the doors were unlocked and we went straight up on the roof without any obstacles.

Okay so imagine this: you’re up on a NYC rooftop of a fancy hotel, 40+ stories high, you yourself high from too much coffee (4 extra shots to keep us both awake) with this very special friend with whom you have a connection so deep you’ve never thought something like this is possible. So you’re up there just overlooking the Broadway, talking about really really deep stuff and you’re crying because this moment is so real you can’t even believe it. And we were just talking till the night faded and dawn was right behind ur backs. And I was so happy even though I was crying because I felt all the pain and happiness this world and it’s people are suffering at the same time up on this tiny rooftop. And the whole world in front of me and sitting right next to me at the same time. 
Time didn’t matter, the hard roof with it’s stones didn’t matter, the cold didn’t matter. All that mattered was me and him sitting up there, feeling the whole world breathing. It was such an overwhelming and precious moment. And even though months passed and paths got separated I still get so much energy out of this memory.

And I guess that is one example for the kind of person I am. I'm aiming to root deep so that even the storms can't bend me down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my language skills with you.
And I might share one or two recipes with you as well.
Cheers to the journey ahead!
