About Me

Hi! I am a college student currently studying close to Chicago, Illinois. My subjects are film making, anthropology and journalism. Besides that I am interested in philosophy, literature and arts in general.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I deeply value gaining insights into other people's daily lives, the struggles that shape you and the small and bigger joys that make your life what it is. Hearing personal stories (and sharing mine if you are interested) is always inspiring to me and teaches me a lot. It is beautiful to travel to a completely new place and instead of staying isolated in a hotel, being welcomed by a local who is willing to share their knowledge about the place and recommendations.

Music, Movies, and Books

2 books I will reread again and again (because I cannot decide on the third one):
The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera
A hundred years of solitude - Gabriel García Márquez

3 amazing movies (and there are so many more):
Time of the Gypsies - Emir Kusturica
Leon the Professional - Luc Besson
Frida - JulieTaymor

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wish I could write something remarkable here that I have done for the world, but all my revolutions are still in making.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about media analysis - sounds boring but I think it is a beautiful tool to discover the depth of your favourite (or least favourite) text (written, visual, audio).

If I bring my camera I can take portrait pictures of you.

I love having discussions and sharing my knowledge on any subject.

I can cook pretty well, even though I haven't used my skills in a while due to living in a college dorm.

As I said earlier, I am perfectly contend if you are willing to share stories from your life and your perspectives with me. Otherwise, I am happy to learn any interesting new skill.
