About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On my way to NYC to spend about 4 months as a Visiting Researcher at Columbia and, more importantly, to meet open-minded and interesting people!

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and easy-going person. I love meeting new interested people with different backgrounds eager to exchange ideas. Moreover, I am of course interested in food, but also in sports especially soccer (not only watching but also playing it!), in discussing politics, people, current affairs, and in languages. After all, I like going out because I think this is a good maybe the best way to get to know people and another country!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING AND EXPERIENCE

I've to admit that my couchsurfing career isn't that astonishing and mostly one-way: staying. I surfed in Shanghai and had a lot of fun in Hong Kong with the couchsurfing community, met a lot of lovely people there and had one of the best times in my life! In 2015 I surfed in Poland and the Balcans for two moths.
