Born and raised in a small, beautiful city from Romania, Oradea, I decided to start my international adventure at the age of 19. I moved to the Netherlands to study and I stayed here for a passion project which I’m grateful to call work. I co-manage an academic startup helping people communicate more confidently and with more impact. I am also a public speaking trainer myself.

Personally, I'm energetic, adventurous, and I am eager to try new things. I love traveling, discovering new cultures and places and, above all, getting to know people and sharing stories and perspectives with them over a glass of wine. Additionally, I am a bachata dancer and my goal is to discover the bachata scene wherever I travel. Another passion of mine is hiking and working out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When traveling to a place, I’ve always wanted to discover the less well-known places and really get the feeling of not only experiencing the city or culture, but actually living it by interacting with locals, spending time and sharing stories with them. I think Couchsurfing is a great way to do so but also, it’s an amazing opportunity to meet people having different backgrounds and getting to know more personal experiences.
