I believe in kindness; research sustainable well-being; meditate; and do random things with random people (and my girlfriend ofc :)) such as different kinds of sports; adventures; VR gaming; and watching South Korean series among others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the ideology behind it-connecting people over borders of different kinds without profit-seeking-and also like the possibility of travelling more affordably while getting to know places and meeting people. I'd also like to try hosting to offer the possibility to others though I am not sure if my facilities for the moment allow it well.
