I’m an IT professional who loves stepping away from the digital world to explore real places, real food, and real stories. Traveling energizes me, whether it’s discovering small local spots, wandering through new cities, or tasting dishes I’ve never tried before.

I’m also a big coffee lover. Give me a good cup and a comfortable spot, and I can happily spend hours sharing stories, learning from others, or simply enjoying meaningful conversations. I value genuine connections and appreciate meeting people who are open, curious, and respectful.

Overall, I’m easygoing, friendly, and always excited to learn something new from the people I meet along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m usually a quiet person and shy with small talk, but I love meeting locals, having meaningful conversations, and making new friends. Couchsurfing is my way of experiencing life like a local and connecting with people along the way.
