About Me

I'm lief.

I like to surf and love being in the water. I think awkward situations are funny and I try not to take life too seriously. I enjoy spontaneity and unique opportunities. My favourite season is summer, then autumn and winter. And spring :) Working outdoors keeps me happy. Sharing a meal cooked on the bbq is another favorite.

I like to plan a little bit. And let the rest just happen. I think caring for the people around you and the relationships you have is very important. Be good. I try to not say the word 'hate'.

I am mindful of peoples private space, and keeping clean and tidy in another ones home. I have a lot of respect for hosts and their kindness.

I'm currently lost on the road so cannot host anyone but love meeting people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to meet interesting people. I'd like to share some of the things I've learnt so far and help out when I can. Still finding my feet and finding my way. I recently returned from travelling around South America.! Surfing couch. Now I want to help others.
