About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become a better person by traveling and meeting people who inspire me in various ways

ABOUT ME

There's nothing better than having a good laugh with your friends :)

Even though I'm (still) one big kid, it seems I'm growing up and with each day realising how much I enjoy learning - about world, other people, cultures, universe, about myself. With every place I visit and people I meet, I'm becoming more and more open minded and it feels good.
I am interested in learning about different cultures as it opens our eyes to seeing more than just the little world we grew up in. I am trying to get rid of as many prejudices and stereotypes as possible, there is so much more than this western culture I'm used to. And even here there's so many people I can learn from, with stories to tell, with different views on life.

One of my favourite feelings is the plane taking off, realising you're off to another adventure and then flying above the clouds or seeing the world below you, so small but so big.
This world is a beautiful place and I'm a believer that everything turns out good at some point, if only you try to see that light.

Music and mountains hold a special place in my heart, they really have a magic power.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am in love with any music that makes me dance, or calms me down when I'm angry, or even the one that makes me cry. Concerts are my happy place :)

Always happy to hear good book recommendations since I used to be a true bookworm

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling to the US by myself to work for the summer in the best summer camp (where I learned so much and met so many amazing people) and do a solo backpacking trip afterwards - including hiking in Yosemite National Park which ended up being one of my happiest places I've ever been to

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn a bit of other languages, I think they tell a lot about their cultures.
Would love to be able to dance, even though I'm convinced I've got two left feet. So if you're a dancer, I definitely won't mind you showing me how to :)

I can bake or cook something for you, or rather make something together

What I Can Share with Hosts

And a nice talk with a glass of wine :)
