About Me

Hi there! if you got to my profile, I will let you know a bit about myself 😁

I like to get out of my comfort zone every once in a while and get out there, so I did three Erasmus: half a year in Split, Croatia (best time of my life), another half year in Porto, Portugal, and finally some months in Brno, Czech Republic, where I stayed working for now. When I was younger I used to go every second summer to the UK or Ireland for a month to practice English, started when I was 13 so I learned to love and yearn to be abroad on my own from a young age.

My biggest interest is to get to know international people from all over the world and from different cultures, building incredible friendships and ever-lasting memories. So I can have then the excuse to go visit them in their home country (and get free accommodation! haha😁 ).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had the most incredible experience using Couchsurfing on my trip around Switzerland with my best friend Midi (the one in the pics). I met the most fascinating people and I'm so so grateful for it.

Music, Movies, and Books

TV shows - Sherlock BBC, Hannibal NBC, Game of Thrones (not the last season..), Succession, The Walking Dead (until S8 or so), Friends, The leftovers, Chernobyl etc etc etc...

Movies, hard to choose but - The King's Speech, Untouchable (french), Sherlock Holmes... but top 3, of course will always be Mamma Mia, Pride and Prejudice and The Lion King 😅 Cliches, but I can't lie!

Music - I believe I listen to all types of genres, except heavy metal 😅 We can share our Spotify wrapped when we meet 😉

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first Erasmus in Croatia was 4 years ago, and just a few weeks after I arrived, COVID-19 started. I was alone in an unknown country to me and my family asking me to come back before the borders closed. Against everything, I decided to stay. After only a month, Croatia went back to 'normal' and I had the best time of my life there, met the most incredible people and visited the whole country in the span of 3 months. While in Spain there was a quarantine for more than 4 months, so I guess I was lucky to make the right choice!

Aaaand also, the coolest thing was my trip around Switzerland with my travel buddy, where our only accommodation were hosts I found through Couchsurfing and moving around also hitchhiking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the basics of playing guitar, I started to learn by myself years ago so I know a thing or two (not a pro though!). 😁 Also some Spanish of course! 💃🏼

And I would love to learn about basically anything you have to offer! 😁
