I'm a happy and enthusiastic person always up for something new. I just finished a phD in neuroscience in collaboration between London and Munich, working on understanding sound processing in the brain. I am taking a little break from science now though, and I am concentrating on arts! I dance, dance and dance, and I am starting a professional dance school next year. I also play double bass. I am mostly interested in folk music from around the world, I have been playing a lot of middle eastern and Turkish music, and I am now starting with Latin American music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It really is the best way to travel, being able to meet people and to have a glimpse of the real city. I hope to be able to host more soon.

Reading Les Miserables from Victor Hugo to catch up with my French folklore, it's good actually!
