Hi!
I'm a Romanian, friendly, chill and inquisitive type of guy, currently living 30 km away from Brașov, working from home and doing a PhD.
After living for more than 6 months in 4 different countries, I quickly realized that travelling is not only about the places you see, it's also, more importantly, about the people you meet and the experiences you have there. Therefore, here I am, giving a helping hand to travellers that truly want to discover my home country in a way I would want to discover any other country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, living and studying abroad have been eye-opening experiences, which made me want to explore and experience the world more than ever.
Therefore, I believe that through Couchsurfing I can do exactly that.

Even though my travels abroad are kinda limited nowadays, I still want to help fellow travellers so, if you plan to visit Romania, my place is right in the middle of it :D
