About Me

I’m a product designer with a deep love for art, photography, and music. Before diving into design, I worked as a journalist, so storytelling and curiosity are second nature to me. I’m passionate about exploring new places, meeting people from different cultures, and sharing meaningful conversations.

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me listening music, exploring new streets, or playing a few cheerful tunes on my ukulele. I travel not just to see new cities, but to feel the rhythm of everyday life there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it’s the best excuse to meet awesome people from all around the world, swap stories over coffee (or something stronger), and discover places you’d never find in a guidebook. It’s like traveling, but with bonus friends included — and who doesn’t want that?

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my fuel — from the poetic soul of Leonard Cohen to the indie charm of Beirut, the campfire vibes of The Lumineers, the timeless groove of Michael Jackson, and the raw storytelling of The White Buffalo. Basically, if it makes me feel something, it’s in my playlist.

Movies? I’m into stories that make you think and feel — The Seventh Seal for its depth, A Beautiful Mind for its brilliance, and Scent of a Woman for… well, that tango scene alone.

As for books, I’m a huge fan of everything Albert Camus ever wrote. His work never gets old for me.

P.S. I’m also a real The Office fan — I can quote Michael Scott at random moments, which I’m told is either incredibly charming or mildly concerning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a mountain just to catch the sunrise — legs were on fire, but the view was worth every step. Also tried ski biking (yes, a bike on skis!) and somehow didn’t faceplant… at least not immediately.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basics of ukulele, share tips about photography, and talk for hours about art, design, and music.

I’d love to learn more about your culture, language, and local food (especially if it involves a secret recipe!).

And I’m always happy to share good conversations, travel stories, and maybe a spontaneous little jam session if we’re in the mood — and honestly, I’m pretty much always in the mood.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my friendship — which comes with free laughter, interesting stories, and a decent chance of us ending up on some unexpected little adventure.
