I travel a lot. However travelling as a tourist and just seeing a country isn't good enough for me. I love to meet locals and get to know the way they live as well as their culture. I'm very open-minded and easy-going. I'd be happy to help you take care of the house/flat/kitchen/whatever during my stay. I assure you I won't leave a mess ;) By the way, my favourite quotation comes from Mark Twain: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
