About Me

I am an easy going TCK who has grown up in different parts of the world. I love travelling to learn, discover and experience different cultures and places. I like to balance my travel between both touristy cities and also hiking in nature. I enjoy travelling to places which are not on the tourist maps and love a good adventure. Enjoy outdoor survival and a nice campfire. I believe in the saying that "...there are no good or bad experiences, they are all just experiences". Food is a passion, both trying new food and also cooking. For sports, I like to run, swim and play ping pong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great platform to meet locals and experience the culture of a place first hand. Although I haven't couch surfed a lot myself, never too late to start I guess. At the moment however I would to meet people in Rennes as I have just recently moved here and look forward to meet some like minded people with similar interests like travel.
