I am a very easygoing person who loves people, animals, and the world. I am passionate about helping people and playing sports. I'm very active. I love to do yoga, play volleyball, basketball, run, ski, scuba dive, and lift weights. At the same time I like a delicious beer and a crowded music festival. I love to learn about other people with different beliefs, cultures, and nationalities. I hope to make my home feel like a home away from home because while I have traveled abroad, I have been helped and felt welcomed by strangers so many times

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
