Overview
About Me
I'm a biology student currently studying a master in Marine Ecology in Lund (Sweden). I absolutely love to travel and meet new people.
I enjoy long conversations and listening to other people's adventures to learn from different ways of living and different cultures.
I love nature and try to spend as much time in it as possible. But I also like getting lost in the streets of any city (I think it's the best way to get to know it).
Music and painting are my biggest hobbies but nothing outdoes a nice cold beer with my friends.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Since I discovered couchsurfing I seriously never think about any other way of traveling.
I find it the best way to travel since you actually get to meet locals who can show you their culture and the best places to visit. But also, you get nice chats, learn from their way of living and make new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books
I basically love all kinds of music but indie, rock, jazz, blues or soul are probably my favorite genres. I play the ukulele and a bit of guitar (sadly only know a couple of chords on this one for now...). I would loove to learn how to play the piano and the drums.
To be honest, I hardly ever finish the books I start (trying to change that) but one of the books I really enjoyed was "The Picture of Dorian Gray”.
I love watching movies but I don't think I could pick a favorite one. Some of the movies I like are: Fight Club, The Florida Project, Trainspotting, Shutter Island, Whiplash, Chicago, Juno...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I’ve founded an NGO (Non-governmental organization) called Inakuwa (“growing” in Swahili) with some friends and worked as a volunteer in Tanzania.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can't host anybody for now since I am currently living in a corridor room (Lund) away from my house due to my studies. Sorry! :(
