I’m a sociable introvert, which to me means recharging my batteries by spending time alone but also not being shy, and loving meaningful encounters with people. I would always choose a deep one on one conversation over small talk at a party. I like finding common ground with people no matter how opposite of each other we seem to be. Also, I like contradictions, or rather, moving in between poles: Caring about disadvantaged groups, at the same time laughing hard about Ricky Gervais’ jokes. Eating mainly plant-based wholefoods but then indulging in brownies or cheese fondue. Being an over-thinker, still praising Eckhart Tolle’s teachings. Whereas in my early twenties I have been all about travel and spiritual self-seeking, I got to what feels like a blank page in my life right now. Unsure of what I want long-term, I am exploring creative endeavors to hopefully bring me closer to an answer. Not only for that, also cause creating art for the sake of it is probably the closest we can get to expressing our soul :) Also, has anybody found the recipe of how to have a balance between engaging in our worldly happenings and hiding in a cave? One tends to make me feel depressed, the other…well keeps me in a cave…

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Meeting locals allows me to create an emotional connection to a place and makes me learn about it in a much deeper way. Plus, I’m all about human connection and can potentially make a new friend. Staying in a hostel where people might not even interact but stare into their phones will just never be the same.
