About Me

CURRENT MISSION

2014 me: to make people(including myself) happy

2023 me: to find and spread joy everywhere I go. To learn about people and their cultures. To live.

ABOUT ME

'€œWell, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.'€• Langston Hughes

Spontaneous, friendly, curious! Up for most things, love talking about everything under the moon, love all things psychology and mental health, cats and memes related!

PHILOSOPHY

"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been off the platform for a while but I used to host and surf, although I think I did more hosting than surfing. Now that I'm back here, I'm hoping to do some couch surfing, although I'll love to open up my home to travellers soon too!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far so good. I hosted and was hosted by wonderful people only.

I am interested in understanding how people interact with others who are culturally different from themselves, that's why I am here :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

teaching English at a summer camp in Estonia for 2 weeks, best 2 weeks of my life.

The highlands of Scotland really made a good impression on me. I would like to say I've seen Nessie, but to be honest I think it doesn't exist. But hey, it's just my humble opinion.

I've seen seals. in their natural habitat. In water they look like dogs...I like dogs.

I fell in love with Turkey. It's so culturally rich, there's nothing one can dislike about this country. amazed by the people there, strangers, who were willing to help me without expecting anything in return

Teach, Learn, Share

I could give some tips on a healthy lifestyle, could show you the surroundings by taking you for a run :> (ok, that might be a bit weird, but I actually enjoy jogging in the countries I travel to). I could teach you Romanian, Spanish. And could show you some weird ways of combining food. The combinations are endless <3
