ABOUT ME

I'm shy and quiet at first, but not so much if you get to know me. Friendly, I think :) I love being with people who really appreciate nature and enjoy eating...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The experience of a place is completely different depending on the people we meet. I've always loved a city more when I met and became friends with someone who lives there.
