ABOUT ME

Hey everyone!

For my studies and work, I've been living in Hannover and Osnabrück, in Germany, and the past 5 years I spent in Utrecht, the Netherlands. I moved to Tbilisi, in Georgia in 2013.
I'm currently working at TSU & doing my PhD in Gender Studies and 20th century literature.

I like cinema, photography, literature, music (dancing!) and theatre. I've been doing amateur Improv theatre and analog photography for the past few years. Cinema, music and literature I like - for the most part - passively :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've signed up for this 5 years ago, roughly, but then so many friends (and friends of friends) visited me in Utrecht, I hosted so many people, that I never really had the opportunity to experience the couch-surfing life. In Tbilisi I was finally able to host some couchsurfers and I really enjoyed it.

UPDATE: In August 2014 I had a baby, little Pedro, so for now I am not hosting anyone, since my life is a bit chaotic :) I am really sorry for everyone that wrote to me and I had not had the chance to reply to - now you know why! I wish you all happy travels!
