I'm the artsy Romanian girl that studies data analysis and complex mathematical models, but does photography and reads about psychology. I was lucky to go to two Erasmus exchanges in France and Portugal and although I'm returning to France, I will always cherish my Portuguese experience <3 .

I constantly seek to meet and get to know people that are inspirational and seek to have a positive impact on the lives of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel that this is the genuine way to get to know people and places that are not in your standard travel guide.

Interests

I love photography and modern art and I hope that someday I will be able to combine my artistic skills and my statistical knowledge to produce cool installation pieces. Until then I'm doing small projects and giving them away to my friends, whether it is a photo shoot, a drawing or a henna tattoo. I think it's very important to create something each day, even a drawing on the back of a napkin.

I also love to travel and get to know people that do not necessarily share my background but with whom I can exchange ideas.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books
As I am a behavioral economics enthusiast, my favorite book is "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman . I love love love Haruki Murakami's short stories "The Elephant vanishes" and "The Little Price" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Movies
I do not necessarily have a favorite movie, but I really liked "The Shawshank Redemption" with Morgan Freeman, or Kusturica's "Black Cat, White Cat".
Music
You might think that "I listen to everything" is a shallow answer, but I literally listen to everything from electronic ( Flume, James Blake) to indie to crazy Balkan tunes to classic rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having meaningful conversations about economics and life with people in Sicily in Italian( mixed with Spanish and Invented words), a language I barely know.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an amateur photographer and I would love to exchange ideas about photography and art in general. I am also quite fond of henna tattoos and I'm trying to improve my technique.
