Overview
About Me
The things I enjoy most in my life right now are sporting (like hiking, swiming, bouldering/climbing, running, surfing), drawing/painting, cooking, listening to all kinds of music, travelling, meeting my friends. But I also like being alone from time to time so i can think of the world and myself. Besides that, i'm easy to talk to and to get along with. And blablabla, all that basic stuff. I moved out of my partens house in septembre 2014 and am earning my own money to live for since then. I like that way of living. But probably at one point I will go to university to study.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Without any doubt, have I met some gorgeous people during my journeys.
But I have also encountered some people who, in my eyes, missuse this networt massively by trying to compensate their lack of friends through forcing you to like them as they host you or won't even host you because you are not a woman (as those are male hosts), and looking for hookupshere is in my opinion not why couchsurfiing exists!
I also met some women who either only host women, men if they travel with a women or even stoped using CS due to this fact.
More to add would be that I have been rejected as guest because I'm from a country 'they allready have hosted someone from' which would result in not adding a country to their map on their page.
CS is not for competing!
So CS exists for HELPING!
And that is why I have an account on this page.
I try to host every person who sends me a request and am always sorry if I can't. Because I know how hard and frustrating it can be to send requests over requests to hosts and being rejected so many times.
Please remember that CS is not a 'social' network for enlarging your friendslist, not for looking 'cool', not for profiling yourself nor for finding someone to hook up with!
So...just enjoy the ride
and
peace out.
