Respectfuf and understanding, I like when people try to understand others and respect their values, ways of life, opinions and are open to discussion and sharing of experiences. I like new experiences, meet new kinds of people, I like to be surprised, I am often looking for whatever I will find, meeting friends I don't know yet.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
For me the point of Couchsurfing is not to make everybody become the same, thinking the same, acting the same and talking the same, but a means to widen our perspectives and enrich our cultures. Any person has something interesting, and the hosting conditions don't matter much to me when I am traveling: a nice host, a floor and a roof do.
