About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found out about couchsurfing through my friend. She told me a lot of interesting stories about her experiences and all of them were very positive and adventurous.
Since then I've surfed a couple of couches myself and was really amazed with all the people who welcomed me,a complete stranger, with such a hospitality and open heart.
I can't wait till I have an opportunity to host people myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is very simple, I mostly listen to pop singers and bands like Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus, Sia, Shakira, Bruno Mars, Elvis, Pink. The Beatles, Maroon 5, Coldplay, OneRepublic. Nevertheless, I enjoy other music generes of course, just not that often.
I watch too many tv-shows and movies. My alltime favourite tv shows are Friends and The office. The last movie that I enjoyed was The disaster artist.
My first books were Agatha Christie's novels and after I got interested in classic literature: Jane Austen, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Charlotte Brontë, Oskar Wilde. I don't know a lot of modern authors but the last one that I've read and liked was Fresh off the boat by Eddie Huang. Now I'm trying to read simplified versions of books by french authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked the Nietzsche Path to Eze Village in 45 minutes. Even though I love hiking I'm not very sportif so that was a big win for me.
Had my first light rock climbing experience in a little town near Marseille - Cassis thanks to my CS host!)
