About Me

I am a brand new architect with interests in art, photography, history, old and new architecture, people and cultures. And also food! I love to travel and I am the lucky winner of an Interrail pass that will move me in different countries where I want to enrich myself with the local culture and bring it back to my home country and hopefully be an influence for my future work as an architect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have just finished the university and my lovely sister made me an amazing present: an Interrail pass to travel by train from Spain back in Romania. I am stopping in Madrid, Barcelona, Marseille, Florence, Venice, Viena and Budapest and I am very interested to be hosted by locals that are willing to show me the city and how their life is.

Interests

Another interest that I want to share it is about the TED talks. I watch them usually when I'm eating (yes, I cook that bad hahaha). And one of the greatest TED I watch is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-iUHlVazKk

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working for more than a year on a building yard, being the only girl and still surviving hahaha. Actually, this raw experience of a building site was great for me, in both professional and personal ways. Also becoming close to the working men, respecting them and being respected by them.
My next amazing thing I will do is this Interrail trip!

Teach, Learn, Share

I read this quote in my favorite book, "A new earth" by Eckhart Tolle, saying that "this too will pass". Good or bad stuff, this too will pass so we have to enjoy it as long as they're still here or to think that nothing is permanent.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Except for my great sense of humor, I can share with the locals my humble experience of life, of the books and movies I know, of the music that's essential in my life and I can also share some little tips about the places I've been. Especially in Madrid and Bucharest, the two cities that I know the best. And last but not least, I am willing to be an experimental subject for those who want to learn to cook!
