I am an adventurous soul. I love new experiences but can really appreciate the peace of nature. I love to learn new things, be it in education or life skills. I get along very easily with people. This may be due to my multicultural background but also having so many multicultural friends helps to understand people. I am really into sports and activities. I am just about to enter my first year in university in london, taking mechanical engineering and am really looking forward to it. But before that, I thought I'd go on a cycle trip around europe before I'm tied down by uni life. I just really want to experience the people and places and I feel that cycling is the best way :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment I am undergoing a big cycle trip round Europe (England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Czech, Germany and back) and want to get to know the people and the place. The people can only be experienced if they are open to meeting me and the places can be experienced better through the people. I want to be able to see deeper than just the touristic attractions and cliche spots. Hidden gems are more my kind of thing.
