Welcome to follow my IG: treya329

Some important facts about me:
Language/traveling/animal lover
A flexitarian foodie doing her vegan transition
An amateur AOW scuba diver and underwater photographer.

I’d like to make friends with people from CS and I hope you are clean, polite and open-minded :)

I often travel alone. When I’m traveling I prefer to slow down my pace, walking around the city, checking some interesting restaurants and shops out. I prefer to feel the vibe of the city in my own way instead of getting exhausted by crowded streets and fixed plans. Usually I would like to visit nice vegan restaurants, vintage /second hand clothes / antique shops, aquariums, interesting museums or exhibitions.

My friends often describe me as patient, independent, considerate and curious about the world. I don’t know if they are right or not lol.
Willing to share my ideas and experience.
Wanna make friends with various kinds of people, hear more stories and discover more about the world
Excercising minimalism and working hard on balancing inner and outside world
Working hard on accepting the imperfections about myself.
Although getting start a bit late, but I wanna enrich the rest of my life with beautiful and inspiring things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
