About Me

You’d be staying in a shared flat with me and my flatmate, Arianna. We’re both happy to host but since I need to coordinate with her, it’s helpful and more likely that we can host you if you reach out a bit in advance.

I'm spontaneous and love diving into deep conversations — as much as I enjoy dreaming up big plans. Good friends want to make me believe that I'm overly patient, and they might honestly have a point, not much can drive me up the wall — unless you hand me climbing gear, and we make it literal 🧗.

I see myself as creative, sociable, and low-maintenance. I enjoy discovering the world on my own, but I also deeply value good company — especially for conversations that roam the realms of politics, sociology, psychology, religion, spirituality, and philosophy. I’m always up for exploring different worldviews and exchanging ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the roles of host and guest — and the way they constantly shift — are fundamental to the human experience. Sharing space and getting to know the everyday realities of others, from small habits to the deeper questions of what moves them through life, their hopes and dreams and the sharing and the partaking in such moments, is what weaves the very fabric of a healthy society. Couchsurfing offers a beautiful opportunity to share the very essence of this human experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I felt out of a plane once... had the craziest weather of a lifetime in Helsinki and enjoyed a great Shisha/Kalijan/Whaterpipe and a great cup of tea in Bethlehem - just a few things of many!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make an excellent Swiss Fondue and some oriental dishes. Professional in turning leftovers in great menus. Also, I'm generally a pretty handy person and can help you fix stuff around your place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good time, night long talks, and generally a very low maintenance personality.
