About Me

ABOUT ME
I moved to Germany to study molecular medicine master at Ulm University. At the moment I am doing my PhD in Berlin. I am quite new here, so I don't have the chance to host you but I am open to meet up and show you around the city (as far as I got to know!) or discover it together :)

I love to learn new things and get new experiences in life. I consider myself to be open-minded and nonjudgmental to alternative life styles. I like to spend time with and get to know unlike-minded individuals too :)

I feel like there are so many amazing things to learn and experience in life, and I sometimes find it hard to focus on one thing. I love sports and I have so many hobbies. My latest passions are salsa and climbing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling gets a lot more fun when you have people to share your experiences with :)
I joined couchsurfing community during my trips to Germany to find a master's program and had some great experiences since then.
