About Me

Before you request: I generally only accept personalised requests. If you are new to the platform or haven't thought about it yet, please read through this article about good requests before sending me a message: https://support.couchsurfing.org/hc/en-us/articles/200640010-How-do-I-write-a-good-couch-request

Hello friends to be!
For me couchsurfing is an essential part of travelling and I can not see myself going to a new place without at least meeting some of the locals.
I am a person who can never get enough of heat and warm summer nights spend wandering around towns with friends are my favorites. If you are staying with me, I will most likely know if there is anything happening in the city and would love to go together. Apart from city life, I often prefer to arrange small get-togethers with my friends. So in case you want to meet some more locals, feel free to suggest anything and it will be possible to arrange!

My pronouns are they/them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and truly get to know the cities I am in. Exploring a new city is way more fun with a local friend by your side, you get to skip all the boring stuff and go to the places tourists don't see. Those places and things that only a minority of the locals know about are truly my favorites.

This goes for hosting also. I want to give my surfers a proper experience that isn't just accommodation. Talk with me about what you are interested in and I am sure we can find something to explore in this small city of mine. I have a habit of befriending my surfers and visiting them amidst my travels, so beware ;)

Interests

When I love things I get really enthusiastic about them, so if there is a sweet jazz gig or an amazing urban exploration site nearby I will be extremely happy to check it out with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I toured Western Europe on my bicycle for three months, adding up to 4k kilometers to the wheels of my bike. Couchsurfed or slept in a hammock all the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have lots of stories from my travels and urban exploration trips, cooking is one of my favourite hobbies so I'd be delighted to make something for us if vegan food is cool with you :)
