About Me

I am passionate about more than human anthropology. I am passionate about the connections between humans, animals, politics and religion. I am a research master's student at the University of Exeter. I have also been awarded a scholarship for a PhD which I will start in October. Before that, I want to do travel a bit and meet nice people.
I love playing violin, singing and learning to play new instruments. I love cooking and baking.
I am a vegan, I cycle everyday. I care about the environment and justice around the world and I try to create as little waste as possible.
I am also into film - watching and making as well. I have done a documentary film making course but I would love to get more experience in this field. Also, I am a passionate photographer.
I get on well with people, I am respectful, funny, honest and I love having a good time and laughing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have travelled with couchsurfing and SERVAS before and I had wonderful experiences and met really nice people. I think staying with locals is a great way of experiencing a place. I would love to meet like-minded people, whether I am travelling or hosting.
