I enjoy a good balance of adventures and chill, cozy time, e.g. reading, doodling, in my day to day life.
As a software engineer, I end up spending more time in front of screens than I'd like to so trying to compensate for that by doing spontaneous road trips, hikes, shredding etc.
Love meeting new people and getting to know them, making friends around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
