About Me

Law student
Vegan
Trying to see as much of the world as I can before I’m pinned to one place with a 9 to 5 job
Have visited 25 countries so far
My biggest passions are traveling, formula 1 and broadway musicals
I really really love F1 so I if you want someone to tell you how Ferrari is totally getting back to the top I'll be the right person to do that. I also watch other series such as MotoGP and Formula E (and F2 obviously) from time to time but my knowledge here is a little limited.
Knowing all the lyrics to all the songs from Hamilton is something I take pride in. Same goes for Les Mis; In the Heights and Dear Evan Hansen come close too.
Also Eurovision.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ever since I first tried couchsurfing I haven’t been able to imagine travelling in any other way. Sure hostels or airbnbs are nice but what do you gain from this kind of trip? You come to this place, walk around, take some pictures and leave. CS allows you to meet new people and experience the place through them, is it not what travelling should be about?

Interests

  • make up
  • vegan
  • formula one racing
  • musical theatre

Music, Movies, and Books

Can’t name a favourite singer at this point but Gioventu bruciata by Mahmood is basically the only album I’ve been listening to for the past 4 months cause it’s just that great
Favourite movie: Inception
Not sure if I can name a favourite book but historical fiction is my favourite genre and Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes by Guzel Yakhina and The Help by Kathryn Stockett are the first books that come to mind
Generally I listen to/watch/read anything that is recommended to me regardless of the genre

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing mount Ararat at sunrise has been one of the most humbling experiences for me so far

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to do your make up I guess ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ I also used to work as an English teacher so if you want to practice your English I could be of some help

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share a drink of your choice or two and listen to your stories or tell you some of my own. Trust me, I know a lot of useless facts - the more useless the better - and can talk about practically any topic using those.
I could cook you vegan curry or some other vegan meal that is not too complicated though I'm not the most incredible cook so I guess I'd prove more useful in helping out around the house (dishes, vacuuming, etc)
I always try to bring gifts from my country
