About Me

Doing my PhD in Cultural Heritage Studies and teaching from Vienna. Which does not mean I spend all my time in the library, just most of it. For the remaining hours I would probably be experimenting in the kitchen, listening to music I don't know the lyrics to or contemplating the existential dread of gray days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf! Host! Connect!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been amazing experience to get hosted and host the friends and seep in different cultures! Thanks to Couchsurfing!

Interests

Finding a nice bubble of organic farmers, artists, activists and like-minded people. Also keen on long walks in nature (maybe not in this wheather tho), offbeat movies (mostly on MUBI), binge watching good series, creative workshops, Open to abstract deep philosophical but definitely no pretentious conversations or small talks!
