About Me

I am a language-geek who is interested in everything about languages and different cultures. I love wandering around the city talking about cultures, countries, life and everything else. I like long walks and deep conversations more than going to famous touristic attractions, take selfies and go back. I would prefer to see the place I'm travelling to with the eyes of the locals. Oh and I love reading A LOT. Cheers ^^

P.S. Please don't freak out because I'm not verified, I'm new to this couchsurfing experience and would love to try it out first before paying anything.
I'm not a robot or a serial killer, I promise.

还有,亲爱的中国朋友们好!很期待在世界各种地方跟你们见个面谈谈旅游经验呢,热烈欢迎PM我哈!
