Lifelong Learner. Always on the hunt for expanding my mind & horizon (Currently on an Erasmus Exchange in France) - Experiencing the world and curious by nature :) Polyglot and lingophil, contemplative yet outgoing, infinite love for anything green...nature that is
At my happiest when I get out of my comfort zone (venturing in social entrepreneurship and set foot on new land) and share and exchange ideas with people, help out where I can (whether mentoring freshmen students or working as a volunteer English teacher).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm on the road and traveling through new and foreign territory, time, space and language, I want to meet interesting and happy people and make them part of my journey :) I am not only looking for a couch to sleep on but mostly for an unforgettable cultural exchange and (hopefully) lifelong friendship.

Music, Movies, and Books

A very airy Gemini and thus a varied interest in music, film and books...anything that touches my soul
One of my favorite favorites: Murakami, Joan Didion, Paulo Coelho, Erica Jong, Shunryu Suzuki, Milan Kundera, Hermann Hesse, Jack Kerouac, Sabahattin Ali, Pema Chödrön, Thich Nhat Hanh, Eckhart Tolle .... Into the Wild, Meru, and many more beautiful accounts of great, adventerous souls chronicling their climb, hike, summit to one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous spots on this magnificent planet that we call home!
