Heyho! I am excited to be part of this unique community! I got in touch with the platform during my semester abroad 2016 in Norway and only made amazing experiences so far. I am very curious and really like having conversations about other people's everyday and extraordinary adventures. I always try to make the people around me feel comfortable.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I think Couchsurfing is so much more interesting than any other kind of accomodation! It is such a nice thing to have the opportunity to meet locals who have unique views on the places they live(d) and travelled to. I feel extremely privileged to both listen to other people's stories and share my own.
