About Me

I'm in constant battle between my introvert and extrovert side. I like to go out and meet new people, go to new places, enjoy new food and learn about new people. I ask a lot of questions so it can make me look a bit intense, but i'm just interested with the life of other people around me. Sometimes, I feel the need to be by myself. I write, I think. I overthink a lot so sometimes I might be going very far in my head but i'm not that far.

I have a huge capacity to listen and i'm a very empathic person. However, I don't like people that aren't able to do the same. It is necessary for me to meet someone who has a great hearing and with whom I can connect , even if it's for a short moment.

I consider myself as a marginalized person - and I have a profound hate for people who are guided and fueled by stereotypes. I think that all humans are valid and should be defined by much more than what they are labeled for. I don't like when people stop themselves to looks and don't get to know the person.

I'm not afraid to stand up for what I believe. If I feel that we are not on the same page, I can politely tell you that I disagree. However, if you disrespect something that is very important to me and you are not open to talk through it, we might have a problem...

I'm an occasional smoker. I really don't feel the need to smoke so if you're against that, no worries. I drink occasionally too. I'm not into drugs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that couchsurfing is a great opportunity to connect with people all around the world. As traveling can be very expensive , it is also a nice way to experience it without paying too much.

I think it is beautiful : all the people on that site are willing to host people that they never saw or heard about, just for the sake of meeting someone from another country abroad. Its a princip that is making me very proud to be a part of this world!

Interests

I'm studying history at the university. I hope one day I could do some research in that field. I'm particulary interested in the fight for marginalized groups. I think that it is very close to sociology. They are probably my two favorites subjects at school.

I eat a lot - and almost everything haha. I really like to cook too but i'm kind of lazy so it's not helpful. Anyway, i'm always up to grab a bite and to discover new tastes.

I know a little bit about astrology but not too much - my friendships don't revolve around that. I just like to see how the signs are dealing with each other and how it can be very accurate for some friendships.

I found inner peace in music. I always have earphones (well not when people are talking to me), but it's a huge part of my life. I have a very diversified taste in music - I actually listen to everything. Rap, disco, rock from the 60s and 70s , actual pop music, indie , hip-hop, even K-POP... NAME IT.

I LOVE to take naps. I LIVE for that. We never have enough sleep in life so yeah. I won't nap in your face , no worries.

I write a lot. I always thought that I was better with words... I always have a notebook with me to write whenever passes me by the head. Stories, my feelings, poetry...

And finally I love to take big walks and to discover new places. One thing that I don't like about traveling is the plane - I don't feel like I can have a proper transition and it's making me dizzy. Walking helps me to understand my environment.

And I like to play video games. I'm a PC player. I loved Skyrim, Bioshock Infinite and choices influent games like Life is Strange.

Music, Movies, and Books

Like I said before, I listen to almost all types of music, but here are some of my favorites bands/artists : Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the creator, The Beatles, Brockhampton, Beyoncé , ABBA , Daniel Ceasar, SZA...

I used to read a lot of books. Unfortunately, since I started my degree, I don't have a lot of time since my degree consist majoritary of reading. But i'm trying to find back pleasure in reading.

I really love watching movies. I'm a huge Potterhead. I love the Star Wars franchise too. I love fantastic movies, sci-fi movies and psychological dramas.
