I would describe myself as friendly, open-minded with a positive attitude and good energy:)
I enjoy talking to interesting people over a glass of good wine or Scotch whisky, I like travelling and having adventures, the more unpredictable life is, the better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of Couchsurfing - the opportunity to meet local people while traveling and actually to get to know them a bit, hear their stories, stay at their homes, share time, meals and discussions with them:)
To me, it's definitely the best way of travelling as it allows me to get to know the genuine character and culture of a place I go to.

I love meeting new people, especially from different countries, of various backgrounds, religions and cultures as it makes the whole experience even more interesting.
I don't believe in any stereotypes, cliches and prejudices!
Basically - peace and love to everyone;) hehe
