About Me

I am environmentalist, engineer, business developer, facilitator and volunteer. What I stand for is climate justice and human rights. I love travelling so much that I have been to quite plenty of places mainly volunteering, researching or attending a training.

One of the tipping points that changed the way I perceive things in life is when I lived in a rural area in Tanzania for 1 month. That kinda mainly affected my consumerism attitudes and approached for actual sustainable development.

Now, I am volunteering with Extinction Rebellion Berlin using civil disobedience and climate action for climate emergency.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe traveling is so important that when you travel for far distances you start to realize how big and beautiful is our planet and how amazing are humans. and yet how small it is among planets. At that moment you start thinking how we all as human beings should cooperate together and neglect any differences/borders that politics have created to separate us. I really like meeting open-minded lovely people.
