About Me

I'm a calm, laid-back and polite person. I enjoy walking in nature, bouldering, reading a good book, watching football and going to the movies. Usually I’m well organised but I also enjoy being spontaneous. Always up for trying new things!

I study political science and international relations in Helsinki. I love that city (especially in the summer), but the best that Finland has to offer for me is a lakeside cabin with a sauna! Last years I've also spent a lot of time in Berlin studying and working. The city feels almost like a second home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet local people while traveling; that's the best way to get to know a place. I've participated in some CS-hangouts during my travels, a great way to meet some nice people!

Hopefully I can have a place of my own in the future where I can host people to return the hospitality that I’ve received <3 So far it hasn’t been possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading is perhaps my favorite hobby! I’ve been reading always. Fantasy and sci-fi have a special place in my heart as my first favourite genres. Nowadays I read pretty much anything, mostly different classics and whatever I find interesting. Definitely recommend me your favourites! Right now reading „Our share of Night“ by Mariana Enriquez.

I love going to the cinema. It‘s one of my favourite activities for sure! Some that I really enjoyed lately were: „Babysitter“, Sur l‘Adamant“ „Triangle of Sadness“ and „The Worst Person in the World“. “Also love film festivals!

Fun fact is that I hardly listen to any music nowadays. When I do, mostly I listen to rock, jazz, classical and whatever my friends make me listen (they have a good taste haha). However, almost all of the time I am listening to different podcasts about politics, news, philosophy and history!
