ABOUT ME

Currently finishing my Spanish Philology and Sociology studies, or rather distracting myself from doing it by writing for an web portal and working in some local based cultural initiatives, both tackling the issue of public in urban space and space use typologies/politics.

Diploma theses once finished, I hope to have more time to travel. And I see it as a synonym for learning - can be literature, music, film, as well as a physical experience of various places and ambiences through your eyes, feet, taste buds or a talk. Am equally interested in all of that :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I cannot host but I'm free for walks, bike tours, concerts or talks over a beer or wine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
