About Me

I'm currently living in Bremen, Germany, where I study a master in Environmental Sciences.

I love travelling with volunteer programs (Wwoofing, HelpX, Volunteer summercamps...), but never left Europe yet! Now I'm looking forward expanding my horizons outside Europe as well as finding other ways to travel, like hitchhiking.

ABOUT HOBBIEEES...
Enjoy hiking in the mountains, being in the nature, cycling and now learning climbing and roller skating! I love skiing (although I do not have many oportunities to practice it... money ;P)
I've practised Taekwondo during some years (I'm green!) and before that athelics for 8 years, where I used to teach children.
Have done some yoga, meditation and really like talking about buddhism!

INTERESTED IIIN...
My interests are wide and spread, from science fiction to politics. I really enjoy reading about psychology and global history, and when I want to relax I really like science fiction books (the good classic ones, the hard ones you know ;) ).
A highly important thing for me is cooking: Being vegan, I enjoy a lot trying new recipes, making up new ones and to never repeat the same dish (ever!). I enjoy a looot good food and I'm always willing to take a visit to local-little-homemade restaurants!
I also like a lot baking bread, fermenting stuff (anything!) and sprouting.
In general I like a lot the DIY philosophy of life, but I wish I had more time for it....

IN CONCLUSION...
I try to get the chance to learn from any experience and from any person I meet, believing that one can always learn something from anyone, regardless their age, education or background.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually look for ways to travel that bring me as close as possible to the local people of the place I'm visiting while trying to avoid aerial transport when possible (... a pitty that the train is so expensive, I love it!)

I look forward meeting new people and I enjoy nice chats with a beer (two... ;)) or wine. Also loving tea and goood coffee!
