Just recently, I finished my master's degree in American Studies. Since I didn't want to pursue a career immediately, I decided to do what I like most: travelling. So I took a year off to visit my friends and explore some of the things that I always wanted to see and do.

I'm a very open-minded, laid-back, and frugal person. As often as possible I like to take some time to travel and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people from all over the world, see how they live, and learn what drives them. If everything works out, I'd be happy to explore their city with them.

Interests

Travelling is the one thing that I love to do most. There is nothing better than visiting friends in their home countries and meeting new people from all over the world.

On another note, I am a cultural omnivore: I love literature and movies, but I'm particularly passionate about comics. I even edit and co-publish a quarterly comic book mag.

A movie that is always fun to watch: The Big Lebowski

Comics: Blankets by Craig Thompson, From Hell by Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell, Stuck Rubber Baby by Howard Cruse, 100 Bullets by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seriously, I can't pick one. I'm a very lucky and happy person. Thanks to the many great people in my life I was able to see and do a lot of amazing things...
