CURRENT MISSION

Meet new and different people, travel to amazing places, eat amazing food, get amazed!

ABOUT ME

I - as I bet most people here do - love to travel and learning about different cultures. I study Design, and I'm very passionate about art. Even though I also love all the things designers usually do, I strongly believe in the power of design to promote social changes. Currently my main study area is gender and sexuality (and how Design can shape experiences and perceptions on this matter).
I am a sugar-free vegan who loves to eat, cook and try different types of food!

PHILOSOPHY

I really believe that each one of us have a impact on our planet, and that action by action we can together change the world. Cheesy, I know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and hosting. I never hosted through CS before, but depending on the date, my couch is open to surfers :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some very nice, different and interest people here, and I am still looking forward on meeting more and more of those people :)

I love art, so going to museums is definitely something I love to do in my free time. I also love reading and watching series and movies. Drinking good beer and cooking is also very high on this list!
