Overview
About Me
I love snow. Especially powder. But then again, I also like beaches and sun. I really can't decide which of these two I like more! Trekking in the mountains is also good fun, as is surfing and skydiving. There's just so much exciting to do in the world, isn't there? And not enough time or money. Oh well, you usually have either of the two but never both of them at the same time. I hope to combine them once again one day!
About that once again. I fell in love with travelling and couchsurfing on my two gap years just before getting into university. I travelled around Europe, US and finally got on a 6-month-long trip to Southeast Asia and Oceania. Mostly couchsurfing my way through these places I really got to know the spirit of travelling I like the most. The spirit that lies within like-minded backpackers, hostel dorms and the couchsurfing community. And I realized that there's so much good in this world, especially in its people.
Oh, and what kind of person I think I am? I've been told that I'm easy-going, tolerant, spontaneous and cheerful. My overall attitude to life is positive and I tend to be optimistic. Why worry about things when you can make the most of them?
But if you REALLY want to know what kind of person I am, you should take a look at my references as usually the people around know you better than you yourself. And obviously meeting me is the only way to really figure out what I am. Looking forward to that. : )
