I am a student, moved to Germany a couple of years ago for my master's. Here at the university i found the Erasmus student group about a year ago and since then I've been hanging out and organizing a lot of events for the internationals here in Karlsruhe and I had the most amazing year and now I went to Belgium for my own Erasmus.

I'm not much of a traveler myself, but when I do travel I like to travel cheap and authentic. I am not usually interested in the touristy stuff, but rather getting to know the place with a local, discovering some cool hangouts and just experiencing the place the way people that live there do.

I like music, outdoors, I play guitar and love to sing, love hanging out with friends, outdoor adventure sports, good views, cozy couches, international crowds, lifehacks for getting the most out of a place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few of my friends have been doing this for a while, and I really like the idea of this community, think it's a great way not only to travel cheaply, but meet some cool people and sometimes get to know the place and the culture. I just need to finish furnishing my new room and hopefully will be able to host guests very soon! :)
