CURRENT MISSION

Meeting loads of interesting people when I will welcome and when I will be welcomed!

ABOUT ME

I have always been interested in other cultures and their ways, this is one of the reasons I studied Japanese. I like to have some drinks at a bar just as much as going to a nice restaurant or to go to see a concert of a good band! I also like nature a lot, so if you'd happen to be more the outdoor kind of type, that's fine by me too.
I can be shy at moments, but I also can be very talkative and out-going. So with couch-surfing, I will try to be the latter, haha.

PHILOSOPHY

How about this?: "Dance, dance, dance! Keep on dancing. You've got to keep on moving those feet". Murakami

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I will give it my best.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far - but I hope not for long!

Interests

Exploring life. Meeting interesting people.
I like to read. And I also like to write. I hope CS will give me lots of inspiration.
I like to dance. I am found of special beers, and I can really enjoy small things in life like drinking a cup of coffee and to smoke a cigar, while reading the papers on a lazy sunday afternoon.
