About Me

Currently doing my Erasmus year in Munich, Germany. So far, awesome!

Passioned about life, traveling, sports..

Recently been in Mozambique for 1 month volunteering in an orphanage and in the health center. Best experience ever!

I've been an athlete in the past, doing athletics and Orienteering. Because of that I've had the chance to compete all over Europe and to know a lot of places out there. If you don't know Orienteering is a sport in which you have to run in the woods with a map and a compass. I've been doing it all my life and I really love to be surrounded by Nature. You'll see that I have a long list of countries I've visited but I actually don't know them very well cause I was in running competitions most of the times, not focused on visiting the main highlights.
Recently I had to quit sports to become a full-time medical student. Now that I don't spend all my time running and competing I have more time to travel and to get to know new places :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
