About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To learn as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

I do my PhD at ETH Zurich in computer vision (nerd). In a spare time, I do paragliding, travelling and crazy things to enjoy the life. Also, I like snowboarding, and dancing salsa. When I travel, I minimize the use of public transport and discover new places by walking all days long. Meet me in person to find out more!

P. S. I am intolerant to gluten. So, please, do not be offended if I reject eating something. I pay a lot of attention to what I eat... even very small quantities of gluten can damage me.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem.
Everything is possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people, discover new cultures, have fun! Something that is harder to do when you stay at a hotel. My experience was mostly about hosting people, but I was also hosted once.

Music, Movies, and Books

Inspiring...

Books? Currently, it is "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac.

Music? hmm. French chanson, Latin, Classical music and some Rock. Yes, I know, it is a good mix of styles.

Movies? Do not really have time to watch a lot of movies or series. However, my secret nerdy side tell me that "Game of Thrones" is nice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I ever seen was the sky with stars in Sahara! It was a moment when I just could not stop thinking about why do we exist, what is the meaning of life, and how should we live. Now if I close my eyes, I try to remember that magical view.
