About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, meet people, discover cultures, sail, ride a bike, paraglide, take photographs, love and be loved

ABOUT ME

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

I'm a graduate of Architecture and Urban Planning, crazy about cycling, photography and travelling. Last year I've been studying also in Munchen at TUM during Erasmus exchange.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be a tourist, be a traveller

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've joined CS 4 years ago with hope to make it a way for getting to know new people, new customs, tradtions, new cuisine, new places worth seeing and events aroud the world.
It works, so far I have been to Stockholm on CS, in India travelled with an amazing friend from Turkey met by CS and with my boyfriend we have just done a great Italian trip from the very north to Sicily and then to Malta, sleeping almost only on CS.

As since a few months, after years of renting a room in a flat, I live in our own apartment with my husband, I would like to host too! We have a sofa in the living room for 1-2 people and an additional mattress for 1 person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With my husband we can show you the city, we can go on a bicycle trip if you have an idea for one, we can show you the best cafes in the city and drink a coffee with you in one of them. If you like to cook, we would eagerly eat something from your country that you prepare :)
