Overview
About Me
Easy-going, open-minded and curious about all things in life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like the idea of staying at someone else's place, someone you don't know and hopefully spend a great moment. The same for people coming at my place. So far, I did it but not via CS.
Why? To experience something different (or not), and just live the present moment.
