I am a very spontaneous, joyful, open minded person. As a scientist by training and an explorer by heart, I like to dive deeper into things. I enjoy connecting with people, places and nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet lovely, interesting, open-minded people who add some flavor to the places along my journeys. I believe I can grasp the atmosphere much better by connecting with the local communities. I travel not just to see some sights, but to get a feeling for how it is living there. No matter who you are or where you live, I am excited to get to know you and experience a little piece of your life. Hopefully I can add a little flavor back to yours as well. :)
