Game player, world changer💪

For me the world is big and small. As a traveler, I truly appreciate cultural exchange, kindness, and mutual respect. My ideal host is someone who:
• Respects boundaries and treats guests with equality, not as free labor or entertainment.
• Welcomes open and honest communication, without judgment or moral coercion.
• Values safety and basic comfort – a clean and respectful environment is important to me.
• Appreciates cultural sharing: I love meaningful conversations, exchanging life stories, and exploring the world through different perspectives.
• Understands that hosting is about human connection, not about money, status, or manipulation.

In return, I bring openness, positivity, and gratitude. I am an independent and responsible guest who enjoys sharing experiences, cooking meals together, or simply offering good company. I DO NOT DATE HERE! I believe Couchsurfing works best when it’s built on respect, kindness, and authenticity.
