I am straight edge and childfree and I eat a vegan diet. I am a conference interpreter and a musician. I recently finished writing a thesis in interpreting studies.
Respect, honesty and an open mind are very important to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet and get to know new people, discover different ways of life and different points of view. I am sorry that I cannot host at the moment, I have in the past and will do it again in the future as soon as I have more space at home.
