About Me

I'm a PhD Student in aeroacoustics. I wasn't drawn to research at first but I really love what I'm doing right know, especially because it's very challenging. Overall I think I'm a really curious person eager to exchange some experiences with people from different cultures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting some locals in the countries I'm visiting, getting to know different cultures and share some life experiences very different from my own!

Interests

I like listening to music, I'm really into 80s stuff. I'm a really good swimmer too. I love cooking and baking, although I have an egg allergy I found some alternatives and I think I'm quite the eggless-cookie expert!
My idea of getting to know a city is to just walk around and get lost. If I can I mostly avoid public transportation because I love walking and I think this is the best way to unveil the secrets of a city. I also love Museums.
