Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is my passion, so I can't miss the opportunity to meet new people through Couchsurfing.

Interests

- YOLO. I'm open to new things and meetings. The main goal is to try to take everything from life (reasonable).
- I have so many interests and hobbies, therefore 24 hours a day unfortunately aren't enough.
- I like do fitness and starting to go to the gym was the best made decision.
- I do love reading. I'd rather spend 1,5-2 hours with a book over watching a film.
But I also like high-quality films, with meaning.
- Traveling is a strong passion. I have more than 600 spots on Google map for future visits. If we have match in travel spots, you are welcome to my company. Keep in mind, I like walking, a lot.
- Parties and Bars another huge love xd. I adore going out with friends, never getting tired of dancing. Salsa parties are freshly discovered. They stole my heart!
- Like cooking, especially backing, sweet dishes and for someone.
- I haven't got a drive licence yet (update June, 2024, I did it!), but being in a car feels in other way. I also like riding a bike, but hate going up on it
