About Me

I work and do a PhD. I'm interested in politics and - even more - in society and I like discussing these issues very much. In my spare time I meet friends, I dance (mainly Kizomba, Bachata and a bit Salsa) and go running or cycling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the beginning I was just curious about trying CS. After my first CS experiences I learned that it's the way of travelling I prefer to any other way. If you really want to get to know a country, you need to get to know its people, not only landmarks, cafés and museums. The maybe easiest and, for sure, most intense way of getting to know people from another country is, according to my experience, CS. Departing from being curious about CS, CS aroused and strengthened my curiousity of getting to know other countries, i.e. people and cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like quite a lot of music genre starting from electronic music and electro swing up to classical music.
I'm not so much into movies, but the kind I like are e.g. Quentin Tarantino's and some of the grands seigneurs of the Italian cinema.

I like reading books very much. For my PhD I read a lot, but I like reading in my free time, too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking and baking and, of course, am interested in sharing this hobby by cooking together.
