CURRENT MISSION

never cease to be inspired

ABOUT ME

I love exploring the world and new meeting people, learning something about them and myself every time. I am outgoing when I meet people, but I can also be rather quiet and lose myself in daydreams.
When it comes to travelling, I'm interested in any region, but admittedly, a piece of my heart is lost somewhere in Latin America. I'm a fan of salsa, tango, Italian food and sushi, sunny days and outdoor activities.
And I'm kind of famous for my hicups. You'll know what I'm talking about when it happens.

PHILOSOPHY

always take your time to enjoy the small wonders on your everday path

Or to say it in wise swahili words: "atangaye na jua hujuwa" - he who wanders around by day a lot, learns a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd be happy to meet for coffee, drinks, exploring the city, hiking and such.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just a little, but that was lots fun! Hoping for more...

Interests

Travelling of course, taking pictures and creating memories.

Doing sports is important for me to stay in balance, although I'm not the kind of person that always needs to explore the limit. What really makes me happy is dancing (with a nice crowd, being outdoors and lying in the sun for hours, eating strawberries and reading a good book. I guess I can be quite a lazy cat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

most amazing: the beauty of coincidence
