About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission right now is to escape the mundane, boring, plain things in life, travel as much as possible, eat (and cook) delicious food, meet great people and experience the hell outta this world!

ABOUT ME

I am a lover, a fighter, a food aficionado, a willing student of anything, very driven, fast-thinking, fast-talking, prone to short-term obsessions like baking muffins or collecting scarves, and most of all very excited about all the new experiences the whole world has to offer me.

PHILOSOPHY

Right now, I live to experience new things. Life can get pretty boring so my aim is not to let that happen! I feel that being open to new people, experiences and ideas is vital to exploring yourself and the world, so the most important thing is to learn about everything you may encounter in life.

I'm not actively participating yet, but when I finish my MA I'd love to travel around the world some more, and open up my home for other couchsurfers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being an anthropology student and a feminist, I know a lot about discourses and structures that you may not realize are there, but underlie the most (and most important parts)of life. Examples: the ways in which beauty ideals reflect cultural and social values, why and how eating and cooking together is so universally important, etc.etc.

I seem to be a lucky charm when it comes to shopping: people that go shopping with me almost always find something cool, or they finally the find the exact thing that they've been looking for for a while :)
