About Me

Semester breaks are usually spent somewhere abroad where I can meet new people, try all kinds of food and discover new things. I've recently spent three months in Australia, went back for the semester, and came back for another three months. Next on my plan is probably Turkey, Morocco and Botswana.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Great experience a couple of years ago while travelling through Europe with a friend. Now mainly using it to meet local people!

Music, Movies, and Books

Haven't really been able to read any books for pleasure recently, but always loved James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Oscar Wilde, etc. the classics, if you want. Re-read Paul Auster's New York Trilogy very recently and will probably pick up Margaret Atwood again.
As for movies, I'm generally into scifi, drama and documentaries, but not with all those amazing TV shows, I don't watch as many movies anymore as I used to. Two most recent movies at the cineman: Split and Collateral Beauty. Loved both of them.
As for music: there is nothing that I am more passionate about than music. I couldn't live without it. Love different genres and I'm always keen to get to know your favourite songs!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling as much as I can - still doing that and hopefully I never have to stop. Skydiving was fun too.
