Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Many times I've thought how blessed I sometimes am. Getting in some sort of situation, sometimes chosen, sometimes not, but always I have been lucky in meeting kind people who will help me out. Who want to show me a piece of their life and I eagerly take every oppurtunity. Couchsurfing is a way of closing the circle. I don't believe you really need to return the favour. Instead I try to help people out whenever I can when I notice I can! Couchsurfing helps making that easier to do in one way.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfing at Johannes Veski's place in Estonia with five fellow students. Completely crazy and fun. Hosting lost Erasmusstudents without appartment yet.

Teach, Learn, Share
I love learning new languages! Nowadays I would like to learn how to sign, for now I can only spell my name...
I also like to learn new dishes, or I could teach you some I know, don't expect miracles though: It doesn't always turn out as I want! But I love to show people that vegetarian food could actually be very good.
I want to learn how to properly fix my bike. I always forget.
