Energetic and very active, I love nature, sports, ALL animals and good music. Open-minded and passionate about everything I do. One of the things I love most is being in nature, either hiking or going on adventures such as biking, canoeing or climbing. However, a good book is always appreciated, as well as watching movies & well-made TV shows. Huge advocate of ball sports - SOCCER especially - volleyball, tennis, racket ball, ping pong, pool etc.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've made this account while searching for a place to stay for an audition. However, reading people's profiles and understanding the idea behind Couchsurfing, I find it to be both a fruitful opportunity to meet new people, make friends, share and exchange experiences, as well as have a great time with complete strangers.
