I'm currently finishing my masters degree through the Erasmus Program 4cities (so far I have lived in Brussels, Vienna, Copenhagen & finally Madrid). I'm super excited about writing my thesis on social movements and exploring places in cities that are reflective of or building new spaces that encourage community, solidarity, and autonomous practices.

Before my masters I lived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for 2 years working as a freelancer. Jobs included anything from being an assistant teacher at an international school to working as an assistant producer on documentary and fiction films.

And before that I was in Texas working, eating tacos, doing yoga, drinking ipa's and riding bikes :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know new people and places and share what I've learned so far especially if anyone's keen on traveling South East Asia ;) or knowing what it's like in Texas haha

Currently in search for an English translation of 'Memoirs of a Polar Bear'
