Books and movies lover. 26 years old. Traveler with a sensitive stomach.
I truly think travelling is one of the worthiest things anybody can/SHOULD do. In my experience, it has shaped who I am. I've met amazing people that I've learned from, done things that put me out of my comfort zone and I have expanded my horizons. I think of myself as an easygoing and fun person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first time I couchsurfed i stayed with this cool guy in Austin, Texas. He was a great host, he showed us around, gave me my first vegan meal, showed me his great collections of vinyls and invited us to watch the Super Bowl with his crew.. I want to pay back that experience.

Interests

Films and books are a glimpse of people's life, they're also the reflection of the context in which the author lives.

I love when I come across a masterpiece of a film, either suggested by someone (which i think is the best way to discover) or by accident.

Teach, Learn, Share

My interest in the world and the interactions between its people led me to study International Relations. I'm fascinated when we discuss about international politics and the problems of the world. Having different opinions and visions only enriches the topic.
