About Me

Some time ago, if I was asked to choose the country in Europe I'm the least attracted to, I wouldn't think a second and would choose Germany.

But well... After a bunch of very random life decisions, life decided differently for me, so I ended up living in Berlin, and I'll be here for at least a year.

While on my year abroad, I'd love to meet more people living here and explore the city together, but also introduce people to this wonderful place. :)

I work on an artistic project with underprivileged children, and learning German is one of my top priorities at the moment, so I would also love to find a tandem partner/study budy. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to form long-term friendships with like-minded people I meet through Couchsurfing, but to also be surprised by the range of different personalities I can encounter.

Since so far I've had such wonderful experiences when being hosted, I'd like to help people experience Berlin the way I'm experiencing it, and fall in love with this city the same way I do over and over again.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately I've been going to concerts a lot, and, even though I'm still one of the worst guitar players out there, I'll be glad to demonstrate my skills! Currently on a mission to learn ukulele and drums and I could totally take you to one of the classes I'm attending in Berlin! 🥹 If you're a musician, you're probably automatically welcome in my house. :)

I absolutely love movies, and have my own little private cinema. Please share your favourite movies with me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my job and ran away with the circus. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some of the languages I speak or weird linguistic facts, how to make epoxy resin jewelry, how video games function from the inside, or how to suck playing a guitar! ☺️

I could also teach you how to play some of the boardgames I own (it's a modest collection, though), some circus things or we can go to a circus training together. 🎪

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very flexible and open to any kind of activities, be it long and active walks, all kinds of sport activities, cinemas, theatres, museums, escape rooms, we can play videogames or have a jam session together!
