Hi,

I'm a 24 year old woman, feminist, aspiring vegan and environmentalist. Born in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

I currently live in Oldenburg Germany where I work on a neuroscience project at Carl Von Ossietzky University. This placement has been facilitated by Erasmus +. I have recently graduated from my MSc in Psychology at the University of Surrey in the UK, and my BSc is in Criminology at Royal Holloway, University of London.

I am trying my best to learn Gearman, and my interests lie within psychology, medicine, and neuroscience. I'm a helpless dreamer and I have the same recurrent dream: it happens that I wake up in my dream and I look outside and I see an equal society where women are not oppressed by the system, where there is an even number of female politicians as it is of male politicians, a world where fellow LGBT folks are not discriminated against and so on. A beautiful society where we all care about the environment and recycle our garbage, and are mindful of meat consumption.

Also, I love reading. The philosophical Simulacra and Simulacrum (by Jean Baudrillard) is one of my favourite readings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have recently moved to Oldenburg in Germany for my research project. I don't know anyone here apart from my lab colleagues and supervisors, nor do I speak any German yet. I would love to meet local friends to show me the city and its surroundings, and introduce me to the German culture.

Equally, I am in love with travelling! I am planning to use this platform to stay with/ meet locals on my travels. My next travel destinations are: Egypt, Peru, Brazil, although I would always love to go back to the exciting New York City. Would never say never to a second visit to India either. Ohhh I love travelling!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to New Delhi and absolutely loved it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could introduce you to feminist concepts, great psychology readings, especially classics (e.g. Freud), discuss sociology/ criminology, tell you how it is like to move to London, advise on universities, things to do in the UK/ Romania etc.

I would love to improve my German and learn about new cultures!

And offer you my friendship.
