Hello I'm Amalia
I have been studying a semester abroad in Oslo, Norway and it was one of the most beautiful experience ever, I had the chance to meet a lot of international students and learn a lot about their countries and culture. Since then I love traveling and meeting new interesting people.
I'm originally from Bucharest but currently working in the film industry as a film painter in Stockholm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to travel, meet new people and when I'm going to have a stable home I would also love to receive guests!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mostly adore: The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors but also I love brand new indie artists such as: Fran Palermo, The Underground Youth, La Femme, POLO & PAN. I love jazz music and bossa nova, would love to learn more about international artists and folklore.

Books: my favorite is The Collector by John Fowles as I have found a lot of cultural references and thus led me to other great classics such as Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and Alan Sillitoe's "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning". My favorite authors are Oscar Wilde, Fitzgerald, Franz Kafka, Mircea Eliade, I also love reading theater, mostly american contemporary playwrights. I love reading about film, art and photography.

I am completely in love with cinema, My favourite films are Celine and Julie Go Boating by Jacques Rivette, Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries and Tarkovsky's Nostalgia. My other favourite directors are: David Lynch, Godard, Wes Anderson, Rohmer, Kubrick, Wim Wenders, Roy Andersson, Antonioni, Fellini, Cristi Puiu, Radu Jude. I love art cinema and currently I have an interest in cult and kitsch film.
