When I was a little girl, I used to tell my parents that I wanted to become a suitcase when I got older. Because suitcases get to travel the world and I knew from a young age that it was exactly what I wanted to do as well.

Fast forwarding to today, I've grown to be a travel fanatic mobile app designer. I was born and raised in Bucharest, lived there for 12 years after which moved to Washington DC with my family where I also lived for 12 years. I missed Europe and in 2014 I moved to Brussels, Berlin and I now live in Paris.

I tend to create artistic side projects for myself while documenting travels. I once did an 100 new people project where every day for 100 days I met a new person while traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see, experience and eat all that this beautiful and artistically rich world has to offer. By far I enjoy meeting new people the most and getting to know them and their diverse cultures. I've had great experiences being a host in Brussels, I've been hosted in Miami, a bit all around France and Portugal and I've gone to many couch surfing happy hours in Bucharest, Washington DC and Berlin.
