CURRENT MISSION

Finding out more about human beings, myself and this crazy world.

ABOUT ME

I´m a quiet girl, a little bit shy, but funny, friendly and easy-going.

As a guest, I am quiet, organized and like to help out. As a hostess, I am dedicated and like to give my guests space.
When I travel, I like to visit the sightseeings but also hike aimlessly, just to get a feel of the place. I like to buy my food at supermarkets and then have picnics in parks. Not to mention taking many many pictures and buying some reading material from the country I´m in - that keeps me in touch with the local culture.

PHILOSOPHY

I´d rather die trying than live wondering what it could have been if I hadn´t given up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am unable to offer my couch to anyone, but I am very interested in showing my city to visitors and taking part in language exchanges/tandems.
