I still use a pen to write letters, and the only books I’ve read more than one are Goethe’s Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (The Sorrows of Young Werther), and Dostojewski’s Идиот (The Idiot)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling makes no fun if you don’t meet the natives or other travellers who love the country just as much as you do. When I visit a foreign country I want to see more than just the tourist attractions and the amenities of my hotel. I want to feel and experience something new.
