About Me
My plan:
After spending my twenties living and working in different countries I want to take a year living a few months in several countries (Russia, Brazil, Turkey, Tanzania). I want to experience the way of living, improve my language skills, make friends and do little weekend trips here and there to explore the country. I really liked this way of travelling when I was in Jordan, because I had a home base where I was comfortable. I was doing a lot of couchsurfing before, but I'm looking for exchange relationships now that are a bit more longterm than that.
Myself and my interests:
I hardly ever say no when there is something new to try out and got involved in a lot of interesting stuff like that (dancing, singing sacred harp, bodypainting, cycling, …) . Right now I'm keeping a balance between being active and having a reasonable amount of rest 🙂
