I’m a very friendly and open-minded person who enjoys good conversations, laughter, and making new friends. Whether it’s exploring new places, trying different foods, or learning new languages, I’m always excited about new experiences.

In my free time, I enjoy photography, graphic design, and discovering great music, books, and movies. I’m also passionate about languages and currently learning Dutch, Italian, and Arabic!

Since I enjoy learning new languages and discovering different traditions, I see Couchsurfing as more than just a place to stay—it's an opportunity for cultural exchange and unforgettable memories. Whether it's sharing stories, exploring hidden gems, or just having a good conversation over a meal, I’m excited to meet new people and experience the world through their perspectives.
