CURRENT MISSION

Currently I am based in Berlin studying a masters degree and freelancing as a reporter. I want to live a life full of colourful experiences, I love to abandon my comfort zone and try out challenging things constantly.
In the long term, I am fully commiting to become an investigative journalist and cover human rights issues internationally. There is one dream I want to fulfill: to take a couple of years off and travel around the whole world.

ABOUT ME
People say I am a very cheerful person. Indeed, I always have a smile in my lips. I like to put a lot of passion in the things I do. I love to watch films, I could watch several films a day. My second dream job would be to become a filmmaker. I enjoy learning new languages and hope to speak maybe eight fluently when I am old. I like to seat in cafés with a book and read for hours. If I have some companion, to chat deeply for hours. I admire people who have a purpose or mission in life. I am amazed about how diverse this world is and hope that TV and neocolonialism won't destroy this, because diversity is beautiful and human. I am a people person but love to spend time alone as well.

PHILOSOPHY

"Breathe it all in, love it all out"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I made a short documentary film about couchsurfing for my journalism studies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fguz-Ny7-mI). I discovered this way of travelling more than two years ago when I met a Couchsurfer in Berlin, Natalie, who now is a good friend. I couchsurfed during my last 4 month trip around Ecuador, Perú and Bolivia. I think this way of travelling is revolutionary and that everybody should try it at least once. I like to host people when I am not able to travel and I can have time for them, and one day when I have children I want them to grow seeing how we host people from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My couchsurfing experience so far has been great. I believe there is no better way of traveling than staying with locals and explore that country from within. I don't feel comfortable with mass tourism, so in order to live genuine experiences I always try to spend time with locals. Likewise, I enjoy having people from different ages, backgrounds and cultures staying in my shared flat. It is somehow a way of traveling without moving in space. Hosting couchsurfers is very enrichening and some of them have even become good friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fall in love in the Woodstock festival.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you German, English, Spanish or Catalan. I could share almost anything. I want to learn how to play guitar and want to improve my photography skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook for my guests and make them feel like home. That is why I prefer to host people when I am relaxed and don't have much work.
