Like a cat, walking his own ways, can be cuddly and very friendly as long as you respect them; stationary by life-style, eternal traveller by heart's longing.

It's important to me what kind of world we contribute to.

I'm new here. For references, you can see my HospitalityClub profile - nick: colargol (I've been a member since 2006).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My love for travelling is far greater than my abilities to travel expensive. And meeting people who actually live where you go, in their places, really brings you closer to the place as well as to the spirit of its inhabitants.
I know what difference it makes to know there's a welcoming home waiting for you so I want to offer this opportunity to other travellers as well.
