Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Life is about giving ...and some taking now and then.

Right now I am home sweet home ...working and slowly forgetting about the amazing freedom I enjoyed while I was traveling all around ...While I am home I would like to facilitate those lucky ones that are traveling around at this point in time/life ;-), make some international friends and show you my 'culture'.
