About Me

Curiosity is what drives me, now it has brought me to Europe.

Languages, humanities, mathematics, and technology interest me a lot, this is why I'm currently working as a researcher for Artificial Intelligence for Language and Linguistics. Don't worry, they are not going to conquer humanity!

- Queer
- LGTB friendly
- I try to discover the underground scene wherever I live (I you're a goth, let's meet and go dancing!)
- Let's go for a bike ride, or a swim

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying in the same environment conditions you to think that your beliefs and routines are natural, but when you get out of your usual place, you realise that there are other options in life.

I believe that the best way to do this is to go somewhere else and see how life is different there. We all learn when we find other perspectives on life.

I also oppose the commercialization of housing, Couch surfing is an admirable effort of self-organization in a community.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't expect hosts to do everything for me, I understand that life is complicated as is so I try not to be a burden.
Of course I enjoy the company of the interesting people in this community, but if we can't manage to find time to chat or walk around the city, it's ok, I can be very independent when travelling to a new place.
