I'm a pretty flexible, independent, and social person. I love exploring new places, spicy food, hot beverages, and sour beers. I almost always give money to accordion players. I stop to admire street art. If swimming is possible , I'm in the water. I enjoy wit. And of course, I travel whenever I can and love hearing a good travel story.

*Sorry, I won't accept your friend request if we haven't met in person. I WON'T HOST someone without several references. No exceptions, my housemates aren't comfortable with it and I respect their wishes.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

When I am hosting, my guests bring the world to me. I get to learn about different cultures, foods, history, and meet people all from the comfort of my own living room. When I travel and hosts accept me, I get to really connect with the place. Hostels are fine for meeting other travelers, but CS is best to meet locals and learn more.
