Overview
About Me
Currently I'm transitioning into a remote working situation and I have my sights on traveling Europe and Asia with my laptop in hand. If you have experience with remote work or you know of a good reason why I should visit a certain area for a while, let me know!
My best features are my ability to tell a story, my readiness to lend a hand, and that I'm respectful and honest. I'm open minded, energetic, polite and friendly! I have an curious and communicative personality with respect for personal boundaries.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like to be active and explore the unknown, that's why I'm so fond of travel. When traveling I try educating myself on the location, the people and the culture by interacting with the locals. From every trip I hope to walk away with experiences and new connections rather than photographs. Couchsurfing helps me to meet a lot of nice people and learn about their daily life and culture.
I like the spontaneity of Couchsurfing encounters and the exchange of ideas and experiences. Surfers that are just looking for a place to crash are not for me, same for hosts that are reluctant to interact. I dislike tourist traps, which I hope to avoid with the help of a local. Truth be told, visiting tourist traps in the right company has proven fun in the past.
Interests
I have a very broad range of interests, but currently I'm focused on making the transition into remote working, by which I mean working from abroad. Also, I enjoy food and cooking, especially as a shared experience, I exercise and I am on a journey of self-growth. I try to balance working with active adventures and more relaxed experiences. I absolutely love learning new things from other people.

Teach, Learn, Share
I like to learn about culture through people's everyday life (or as close to it as possible). This includes learning some of their customs, language, hopes, dreams and fears, etc... If you'll teach I'll listen!
As I said, I really enjoy cooking. I would like to learn to make dishes from your culture and will happily share some of the recipes I’ve picked up.
I’m up for anything really when traveling, so if you just want a relaxed “come as you are” hangout, reach out.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm clean, friendly and polite. If you like to go out or explore and you need someone to hang out with, I'm in!
I really enjoy cooking together and eating together. I'm always ready to lend a hand, so if you have a project you need some help with, I'm in.
Please consider that I will be working while traveling, so I will not be as flexible or available all the time.
