I try to be open minded and see everything from a different perspective as I think there's always a chance to learn new things everyday. I'm also convinced that being creative brings you one step closer to happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really believe in cosmopolitanism. Expressing your own culture is fine, but this should encourage you to learn about other cultures as well. Traveling, meeting new people and learning foreign languages are beautiful ways to explore the world.

The more cultures and places you know, the more you have in common with others. By understanding and having empathy you can obtain peace and personal enrichment. I deplore nationalism.
