About Me

I just finished my masters in social work and human rights and I'm now trying to figure out what comes next. I'm pretty relaxed, I like going out but mostly for food & drinks or live music. I'm not so much into clubbing.
I'm very a clean and respectful roomie!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I've never hosted before, I'd love to meet new people! I try to plan big trips every year (US, Korea, Peru), but I'm also making an effort to get to know Europe more.

Interests

I love running, pilates, yoga, reading, cooking & baking, writing and a good TV show with pizza! Oh and chocolate. I'm a HUGE chocolate fan.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music although my absolute favourite genre is jazz.

Movie-wise I love Wes Anderson, Kubrick, Woody Allen and Coen Brothers movies, and anything with Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson or Tilda Swinton in it.

As far as TV shows go, the best ones are The Wire & Fargo. The Sopranos and Oz come a close second.

And as for books, I'm an avid reader, mostly fictional but no sci-fi and no romance novels. I love Murakami and Kazuo Ishiguro.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping off a bridge, it was amazing!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach French, cook (although I'm not vegan I know how to cook vegan food!) and have (I like to think) stimulating conversation

Countries I’ve Visited

Bolivia, China, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, South Korea, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In
