Cheerful bubble wrap freak and cat enthusiast.
Presently studying a masters in Language Science.

When I was 18, I moved to Norway as an exchange student thanks to an organization called YFU (Youth for Understanding), which aims at bringing peace and cultural understanding through educational exchanges. I lived in a host family in Trondheim for a year, and attended a local school. This experience really helped me grow up and come to realization that travels and sharing opinions and cultures is the best way to better ourselves. It triggered a passion for travel and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people I guess? Classic.
I've always been interested in commingling with people from diverse backgrounds and origins.

Meet different people, share a conversation, confront my opinions and personal beliefs to someone else's, get to know other human beings, learn about different cultural and personal values...

Interests

My biggest interest is people.
And cats.
But mostly people. I sincerely think that meeting different people is one of the greatest possibilities we have as human beings.

Other than cats, I also have interests such as reading, watching movies, debating, wandering in parks, lightening scented candles, watching fancy cooking tutorials on youtube but eventually cooking pasta for dinner, playing & listening to music.

I'm extremely interested in languages and how they work as a system, as well as foreign cultures.
