About Me

20, currently studying political science and curious to discover the world

I'm interested in sports, politics, geography, history, languages and keen to discover new interests

I like hiking, skiing, camping outdoors or any other way to spend time in the mountains

I'm not always online here but I will respond quickly, I have notifications on

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love travelling and meeting people with other backgrounds, I'm a very sociable person who always enjoys company with other couchsurfers

Couchsurfing gives me the freedom to travel alone, meet new people and spend time with others all together

I like to collect coins and bank notes from foreign countries, so if you have some to bring with you, that would be an amazing surprise

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first (and also the second) holiday alone with couchsurfing and hitchhiking

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't want to look back at my life when I'm old and regret not to have lived every bit of it. Trying to find the best adventures out there!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Having dinner together and a nice conversation. I also like to listen what others have to tell and not only speak myself.

I really like cooking and discovering foreign cuisine, I can cook for you or we can cook together if you like.

I really like having more complex and interesting conversations. I'm not judgy at all, I'm open to learning from people of every opinion and background. This is the kind of thing that makes travelling so valuable.
