Overview
About Me
I see myself as a really sociable person, who loves to meet new people and see new places. I finished a degree in music, playing the piano, and now I am currently pursuing my higher education in Criminology and Social Psychology at the University of Essex in England. Most of my time, I like to spend it with friends, go outdoor, travel, and create new stories. I am an active volunteer, always looking to offer what I have (mostly time & desire to make a change for the better), in order to aid and develop the community. I decided I want to see this planet of ours, as time most of all is short and expensive and the best way through which one can value this time, is by travelling, pursuing interests, meeting people and sharing stories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I decided, Couchsurfing would be the best choice when talking travelling combined with meeting amazing people and making the trip memorable. I always looked to travel light, and I believe in the goodness of people, thus, Couchsurfing seemed to be the best idea for seeing the world. I see this activity as a way to also test myself and develop as an individual, with goods and bads, I decided Couchsurfing would be an interesting choice in my life.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy a variety of music genre: Reggae, Classical, Pop, Techo, etc. As for movies, "Yes" Man, starring Jim Carrie, a really enjoyable comedy with an interesting life lesson. One of the best I have seen, "The secret life of Walter Mitty?" starring Ben Stiller, one of the most inspirational movies I have seen that also had a great influence on my desire to go and explore and travel. Another one in my top movie book, "Shutter Island" with Leonardo di Caprio. I consider myself a lover of the "mind-fuck" movies and "Shutter Island" was one of the best I have seen, alongside I enjoy abstract interesting movies and series, Like "Limitless" or the "Black Mirror" series.
As for books, I am currently reading into the Norse Mythology, also Sci-fi books like "Metro" or "The Alchemist" and I do not shy myself from history interactive books, mythology, music, and life.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have been part of a volunteering project that engulfed in sharing and promoting different cultures and traditions through a muppets show which we held in four different towns/cities.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would gladly teach piano and music in general. I can also engulf into long discussions about life and meanings. I am interested in literally learning anything, from languages to traditions to culture, to ideas and so on, anything that allows me to learn something new has a check in my books. I would gladly share my life stories and experiences, as much as I like to listen to them. Most of all, I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm and energy with others. Would look to learn a bit about the cities I will stay, places to visit and hang out.
What I Can Share with Hosts
First of all, I will not shy from helping in and around the place and see if my skills would be of any help for the hosts. I am more than willing to share my music experience and knowledge. I am more than willing to share stories as well as food (or how I like to say, "two of the best things out there"). Any bills, I will gladly take part in for any costs produced during my stay. I always clean after myself and most of all, I will always be glad and humble for the help offered in making my Couchsurfing experience worthy.
Hope to also make friends with the hosts and keep in contact even after my departure, in the end, they would be the pillar of my future experiences.
