Occasional traveller, always looking to discover and explore new places and local experiences. I enjoy eating, cooking and talking about food in general. I'm interested in politics and enjoy lengthy discussions about anything. I work in IT with a focus on trustworthy AI. I love meeting new people and exchanging ideas. I read a lot and write and draw sometimes, but mostly for myself. I am a happy person in general and enjoy making people smile. I want to try anything at least once, especially local food and drinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To really experience a place, you need to get in touch with the people who live there and not only see the sights, and anything you experience is better shared with a fellow human being. So couchsurfing is a great way to really get to know a place and experience it fully!

Interests

food (any and all kinds, the more local and unique to the place I'm visiting, the better)
politics & IT (from trustworthy AI to privacy laws, I care about this kind of stuff)
reading, video games, movies&tv (I tend to be active on holiday and a couchpotato at home, currently playing Baldur's Gate)
dancing (most electronic dance music genres work for me, but prefer drum&base and psytrance music)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made 2kg of Pakora by accident once and ate them in as many days. Still amazed I managed that - although I couldn't stand the sight of them for about half a year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably fix your computer problems (I have mastered the art of precisely googling stuff).
I care a lot about IT ethics, especially trustworthy AI, and love to educate on the applications, risks and benefits of AI. My particular interest is trustworthy AI, a topic I've been researching since 2018 and a big part of my work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, and am always happy to share a meal - be it at home or going out, food is love and connection and something I would be happy to provide in either way
