Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve always wanted to travel and now I discovered couchsurfing and lost fear of hitch hiking which makes everything a lot more easier. I can't wait to gain new experiences and meet nice and interesting people with beautiful souls from all over the world.

Interests

Other things I like: forests, mountains, lakes, libraries, cafés, cats, wine, paperbacks, old furniture and dishes, diaries and handwritten notes, physical photographs, summer music festivals and open-air cinemas, true friendship and unconditional love, hot tea in winter and cold coffee in summer, night sky without light pollution, japanese culture and language, meaningful tattoos, heartbreaking poetry

I like ships and I admire airline and ship captains and saxophone players.
