CURRENT MISSION

Easy life

ABOUT ME

Difficult going and narrow minded, according to my friend and traveling buddy, with whom I was conquering America. But he's mostly wrong about everything.

I have my head up in the clouds, but keep my feet on the ground. I'm always laid back, positive and willing to experience something new.

Usually it takes a while to get to know me better, since I'm not the most talkative person. Especially when there's a lot of people I'm not the one in the spotlight. Be prepared for laconic comments and black humour.

I'm quite impulsive and might change my mind often. That's why I never make much plans beforehand, but instead go where the wind takes me.

PHILOSOPHY

Slow ride, take it easy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not going to dedicate my whole life to CS, but I'm glad to contribute in any way I can. Hosting, meeting, traveling...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've met many fun, friendly and spontaneous people, who often saved me by accepting my last minute request.
