Student - that says a lot about my life.
In Economics - and by now, 75% has been said.
:)
Besides that, I do have a wide range of interests, environment and climate change, outdoor sports, hiking and rock climbing, wild birds, fashion, classical arts.
My first and foremost value is freedom. I still have to sort out a definition for this value of mine, which goes beyond the usual idea of "being free".

PHILOSOPHY
"Not all those who wander are lost." Found it written in neon lights, in a shady alley of Edinburgh, and it stayed with me ever since.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been solo-travelling for a couple of years withouth quite knowing about Couchsurfing. Or at least I had no clue of how it worked.
Then, on a backpacking trip to Scandinavia (2013), I found myself in the most unexpected of situations - I ran into this guy who took pity of me and my friend trying to wild camp in crappy weather, and introduced us to his CS host. It was a dark and stormy night (maybe not dark as we were over the polar circle, but stormy indeed), and I was definitely glad to learn what couchsurfing was.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From my first hikes on the Alps as a 4-years-old, through my first solo trip and hitchhike in Ireland, to the many experiences I had in the north of Scandinavia. Nature does makes an effort in amazing and inspiring. I only gazed in awe of it.

And well, my favourite ones are:
- hiking 120 km on the Kungsleden (Swedish Lapland)
- seeing the Northern Lights
- hitchhiking 1500+ km in the north of Scandinavia, by winter.
