ABOUT ME 🏳️‍🌈

Insta: @lebblon

I am very humerous (well I think so), open minded (as we all are, right…) and I enjoy getting to know new people especially from other nations or cultures that can show me the diversity of our world. I would say I am normal, trustworthy and I am loving life. I love foreign languages, the smell of coffee in the morning, summer-evenings and winter-mornings. I love to be ironic but sometimes people don't get my irony. That gives me the impression that they think I am dull. But I am not. Definitely not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS because I think that this is a good way to see the real world and to give other people the possibility to see the world.
