In the whole month of may I am bikepacking in the north or Spain.

I am a social and easy-going person. and, as most people here, a passionate traveller. While traveling I dont plan much and rather go with the flow.

- Initiative
- Positive
- thoughtful
- Adaptable

I have become a real food lover and I try to cook new dishes as much as possible. My speciality is cooking Asian food. If you are into cooking then I would love to cook together so I can learn new dishes or techniques. Like would love to learn traditional dishes from your country or any other dishes you like to cook.

I find it hard to sit down and do nothing. An exeption on this is meditation where it is the aim to do and think literally nothing.

Important to mention: I live in Soest.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

In my opinion the beauty of a country is the people. I you only stay at commercial places then you have limited access to this beauty. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet interesting people with diffent points of view. Futhermore exploring an area in a lokal way is in my opinion the best way.

I think it is another way of exploring the world. When only using Lonely Planet to see the best places then you will be restricted to the tourist areas. Contact with locals can make your trip much more interesting. I don't care too much about visiting places, I am more interested in spending time with people from other cultures. For that reason I regulary visit places where tourists are rare.
