CURRENT MISSION

studying, trying to sort life out, enjoying life as much as possible

ABOUT ME

i would consider myself as an open-minded, understanding and easy-going person, always up for some fun, but also the need to be alone sometimes. i love to listen to and talk about music, go to concerts, read good books, travel, eat well, meet new people, learn new languages, get to know different cultures and and love to have conversations about everything under the sun.

PHILOSOPHY

everything in life has its reason and sense!!!

the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

be an individual, be yourself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

haven´t had the chance yet to surf myself, but i would love to, and people are always welcome to stay at mine!

Interests

i just LOVE music, it makes me happy and feel free.. it makes my heart jump if i hear a good song, and makes me feel better if i´m down.
photography is also a passion, i love to catch "moments" and lights and can´t go anywhere without one of my cameras.
and of course travelling is essential for me too - i couldn´t live without it!!!
