I've traveled quite a bit over the past years (studies/work/vacation) and just came back from a 3-month trip around Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. Now I am about to swap noodles & sambal for pasta & salsa and find a new home in Florence (not to forget, also start my PhD studies there). As you can see, I am a sucker for good food but I just as much enjoy politics, books, arts, music, sports and everything outdoors - ideally including food and drinks.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

For a long time, I have been sort of a hostel person. Now I want to focus more on couchsurfing again to get close up with my new home .

Música, películas y libros

I love artsy movies with subtitles ... and still piss myself over Beavis and Butthead. In more serious moments, I try to read my way across the African continent with Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Nadine Gordimer and the like...

Algo increíble que he hecho

I made it out of my village

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Duolingo claims I am 38% fluent in Italian but this figure just can't be trusted... I never even had a conversation in this language :-D so please, help me out!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Naturally, great food and great conversations!
