About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the spring - the snow is surrending to the sun!

ABOUT ME

Right now I'm really enjoying life the way it is, I'm back in my hometown and have lots of time to spend with friends that I have missed during my studies. I have also recently started fencing which I have wanted to do for quite some time and it's really a lot of fun (and good exercice!)

Othervise, I usually love travelling and hope to be doing lots of that in the future. Most of all I hope to get a chance to live in other countries around the world. My dream city to live in is Chennai, India.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy! - people, food, wine, conversation, music... I don't want to do things that I don't like, I want to eat nice food, spend time with lovely people, talk about interesting things and go out and enjoy the sun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My home is open to all you lucky ones who are travelling at the moment!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have no experience at all from proper couchsurfing but I have done some exchange programmes and that's always so much fun. I have gotten to get to know people that I would probably never have spoken to othervise. I have also been staying in different student accomodations with shared kitchen and I love just cooking together, eating together, watching telly and speaking about politics and everyday stuff with people from all over the world - I would really like to have some of that in my kitchen. :)
