About Me

I love learning and discovering new things! I'm also keen on arts, passionate about art history, any music (classical - team viola, piano, ukulele and bass) and photography... and travelling of course! I'm one of these kids from the 21st century that calls herself "citizen of the world". I'm my way through the 1st ashtanga series and yoga teaching certification

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a different way to discover a place, since the first approach is given by a person that shares the same curiosity and passion for meeting people as you (well, me). You can meet great people that otherwise would be missing if you stayed by yourself. I also think that there is a lot to learn and discover, secrets not written in books... Or perhaps just the need to ask for the closest Lidl or where to eat good, cheap and be stuffed.
