About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a digital nomad in Romania I enjoy meeting like-minded individuals when they cross my path. I love this country and want to share the things that I love about it with others. Bucharest alone has plenty hidden gems and I often meet and drag foreigners along to see them. I feel that couch surfing could be a great way to ensure that this happens more regularly. I also have the space, so why not!? :)

Not only would this also reduce costs when I travel but allow me a more enriching experience! Everything about couch surfing screams my name :) The best holidays are the ones where one gets to hang out with the locals. I hope to do this more often with the help of this community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm

Spent two months traveling from the South to the North of Vietnam on a motorbike I taught myself to ride the night before the trip using YouTube.

Got super into mixology and read every single book I could lay my hands on. I now have a library on booze and make some of the best cocktails in the city (if I do say so myself)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make a mean Negroni ;)

Can recommend plenty of great places to eat and drink.

Also willing to teach you some basic Romanian if you’d like.
