I am a 25-year-old geography student with a deep passion for the outdoors and the physical world around us. My studies have naturally fueled my curiosity for exploring different terrains, whether I am scaling rock faces in Italy or trekking across glaciers in Alaska. I am particularly fascinated by geology and cartography, which often means I spend as much time studying maps as I do actually hiking them. When I’m not in the mountains or at my desk, I enjoy diving into epic fantasy worlds like The Witcher or relaxing with a classic French comedy. I consider myself a calm and reliable person who values meaningful conversations about travel, science, and the diverse ways people interact with their environment.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to connect with people who share a passion for exploration and to experience places through a more personal, local lens. As someone fascinated by geography and geology, I enjoy discovering the unique landscapes and cultural quirks of a region that you won't find in a standard guidebook. I value the opportunity for authentic exchange, whether it’s sharing stories about mountain adventures or learning about the local history of a place. For me, it is about more than just a place to stay; it is about the mutual exchange of knowledge and building a community of like minded outdoor enthusiasts.

Música, películas y libros

My taste in music is a mix of energy and atmosphere that accompanies my outdoor adventures. I love listening to Imagine Dragons for motivation while climbing, whereas the Red Hot Chili Peppers are my go-to for road trips. When I am studying or enjoying the the evening after a hike, I usually put on some Coldplay.

In my movie collection, I enjoy the breathtaking perspectives of documentaries like Earth, which perfectly match my passion for nature and geography. I am also a big fan of French cinema and its unique charm; Intouchables is a classic for me, and I really enjoy the wit of films like Bon Voyage.

When it comes to books, I love diving into deep, complex worlds. I am a big fan of epic fantasy series like The Witcher

Algo increíble que he hecho

One of my most significant outdoor achievements was completing a snowshoeing tour across a glacier in Alaska, where I navigated the terrain in temperatures as low as −10°F.

On another trip I constructed my own igloo and spend the night in it.

Additionally, I successfully finished my first trad multi-pitch climb in Italy last year, I'm very proud of that.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you the fundamentals of map reading and navigation. I am also happy to share my knowledge of rock climbing, specifically regarding basic knot-tying. If you are interested in cold-weather survival, I can even explain the basics of how to construct a functional igloo from scratch. On the other hand, I am always looking to learn more about local geological history or improve my climbing techniques from experienced partners. I am also very interested in discovering hidden gems in your region.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share my technical knowledge of navigation and map reading, as well as my experience with rock climbing and basic rope work. If you are interested in outdoor survival, I can also explain the principles of building an igloo or managing equipment in extreme cold. Beyond that, I am always happy to discuss geology, geography, or epic fantasy literature over a good conversation.
