Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I always manage to find cheap tickets to the most random places but most of the time I dont get to go because the accommodation is always way to expensive. In addition, I tend to be a really shy person when meeting new people and I want to invert that situation through Couchsurfing
Music, Movies, and Books
It is really difficult for me to choose my favourite music, movie or book. However, in terms of music I really appreciate a little bit of everything, from r&b to techno, rock, soul, etc One of my favourite directors is Paolo Sorrentino (watch Youth and The Great Beauty!!!) In terms of books, my favourite ones are about politics or classic literature. Currently I am reading "Psychadelics" by Aldous Huxley and "Cast Away" a book about the refugees crisis.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I did Erasmus in Czech Republic and I was able to travel across the entire Central Europe. It was an incredible experience that allowed me to grow in every single way.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share my cooking skills as well as my political views. I am really passionate about politics and if we start talking while drinking a glass of wine I wont shut up for hours
My Interests
I love cooking and I have been doing it since I am 15. I dont have favourite dishes but I really appreciate my risotto. I am passionate about human rights and politics and that is the future I intend to pursue profissionally.
