About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around balkans

ABOUT ME

It sounds poor and a topic just to say "I'm an openmind person". But in my case I can not figure out a better way to define myself.
I am studying mechanical engineer but I also thought about started with journalism, filosophy or medicine. In a world where specialization is key for success, it is not easy to have this "global interest" about everything but I like too many things and enjoy to be surrounded by all kind of people.
I like listening more than speaking, always is a good time to learn something new... I enjoy calm plans like playing guitar with friends or going to an excursion but I sometimes need a good party to release tension and feel alive!

I like the spontaneus and open mediterranean culture but, during my time living in Germany and my travels around, I also have lernt about the deeper concept of friendship from other countries and made really close friends in many places.
Travelling is my passion and also nature and environment. I am very concerned about environmental issues and I do usually get upset when speaking with people who don't care about it.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the little things, don't be afraid about the new experiences and never take something too seriously.
And overall, nothing is black or white.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This year I'm finishing my master thesis in Germany but I want to travel as much as possible. At the moment I also can offer a couch in my place in Aachen!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This will be my first time!

Interests

Reading a good book at night, getting lost in the nature, playing a guitar in an unexpected place, writing a short and stupid tale.
