About Me

I did my PhD in Cognitive Science, now working in BigTech. Music (performing and listening) is one of my main interest, History (especially non-european middle ages), food and books and anything in between!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can say I've had really good experience most of the time. From well-planned trips to emergency trips, I always get more than I expected in terms of a rewarding experience.

Interests

Music! I love almost all kinds of music, specially when I'm playing ;-)

Most of my life I've played guitar, now starting with bass.
