I am a first-year Aerospace Engineer student in Delft. I like to speak to other people, about anything, and especially about science and space-related topics.

Previously, I have lived in Düsseldorf where I have finished high school by doing the IB Diploma program. Now, I am studying in the best university in Europe for my specialisation.

One of my main hobbies is traveling, I like to explore new places and to make interesting photos. Furthermore, I am learning to play the guitar, but currently, I am a beginner. In terms of sports, I like to play football and snowboard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the world of the planet Earth with addition to meet new interesting people who can show the culture of their country. The communication with people from other cultures is essential for me in order to be less shy, and it can give me the sense of a person's culture which cannot be obtained in any other way.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of movies, it is hard to choose my all-time favorite, as it was my hobby to watch many different films and to find hidden gems. However, I can list a few.

1. Pianist
2. The Imitation Game
3. Spotlight
4. Inception
5. The Departed
6. 12 Angry Men

I like classical/punk Rock. My favorite bands are Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters.

It is problematic for me to find an enjoyable book. I usually like to read different articles on the Internet or to learn new things through Wikipedia. However, my favorite book is 1984 by George Orwell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided that I have to become better every day

Teach, Learn, Share

I spend quite a lot of time studying because I always want to be one of the best in every subject that I take, even if it is a challenging area like languages.

My favorite subjects are related to science. They are Physics and Mathematics. Furthermore, I enjoy learning about astronomy. However, I have noticed that usually, people are more interested to hear about psychology.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some facts or theories from science or psychology. My experience from previous trips or stories. Can join any discussion topic.

I have experience of living alone or in the community (I lived in the boarding house for 2 years). Therefore, I have learned essential skills such as cooking, cleaning, etc. Maybe, it will be helpful.

I know that the hosts are often unable to show the city. However, it is not a problem for me as I can easily adapt to new surroundings and to find places where to go.
