Overview
About Me
I am a social, easy going girl with an endless curiosity. I love to talk as much as I love to listen. I am a spontaneous, in-the-moment type of person and quite direct. Open-mindedness, generosity, and honesty are the essential qualities to me.
I am currently an Exchange student at York University, Toronto. I am supposed to write my thesis on Indigenous agency and diplomacy regarding the Canadian-First Nations relations in the 1870s. I am especially learning about Ojibway and Metis nations.
I am living in Toronto since August 2017 and I love the diversity of the city. I must say my first Canadian winter has been a physical and psychological challenge but now it's finally sunny and warm (for Canadian standards...)!
I would love to do podcasts and audio documentary, just starting to look into it but I am really excited about it!
I have been an Erasmus student for a year at ELTE in Budapest, Hungary. I did my third year in History there. I love traveling, photographing, reading, dancing, sailing, going out, cinema, street art, museums, hanging out with friends and random interesting strangers. I love meeting new people and share our different culture and country. I love eating and cooking.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I love the idea to host someone and get to know someone that I don't know and that I would have never met in my daily life- I love to meet outside of my comfort zone of friends because it is always so interesting to learn about other's cosmology and views.
I would be more than happy if thanks to me someone could afford to travel in my city.
