About Me

Joining CS many years ago helped me a lot while traveling and I met lots of interesting people on the way. Some experiences very too good and some not good, but all in all it was good lesson to learn from. Nevertheless, I will specifically underline the following:
Please do not MISUSE Couchsurfing! It’s neither a dating app or a free hotel all inclusive. We are here to exchange & to learn. We are here to make connections and friends. With respect to each other’s borders, politeness and - most importantly- good vibes.

And now let’s skip to the introduction part:

Traveling is a great part of my life. I made my first independent trip abroad at the age of 17; and as I was 18, I moved to Austria where I’ve stayed for almost a year. After that I moved to Abu Dhabi and since May 2022 I am in Germany beginning my studies at the TH Aachen.

I am an architecture student, so traveling gives me opportunities to see lots of exciting projects all over the world. Before going to a new place, I always mark all the places I want to visit. I don’t like to come somewhere without having a plan what to see. I don’t like being at a new place and just staying in a hotel or doing no sightseeing from very early in the morning (There’s so much to explore!)
And I find it nice to try and visit all kind of things and places. Either a museum in the middle of nowhere or a Techno club in Berlin.

Some people get irritated, because it’s too much stress. Some find it funny and join to discover new stuff even in their own hometowns.
Whatever type you are, I respect your decision either to join me at this small adventure or not. I like when people are direct and say what they truly feel and think. Even though it took me a while to learn to do this as well.

Some other things important to know about me:

I am a huge language fan and currently I am involved in learning Dutch & French. It will be very interesting when you tell me more about your mother tongue!

I don’t consume any animal products and can’t cook like your grandma.

I would describe myself as a perfectionist! And I think planning - is a great tool.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently I discovered a playlist on Spotify which is called “Nothern Spirits”. I found it really nice! Apart from that, I enjoy melancholic “tones” of Ólafur Arnalds’, Coldplay’s, Lumineers’, Tom Odell’s music etc.

I read only literature related to architecture (mostly because of lack of the time).
