I'm a friendly, warm, open-minded and laid back person with a love for all thing pop culture, particularly podcasts and movies. I'm also a vegan who loves cooking and would like to get to know new people over some good food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in meeting new people from other cultures, hearing their stories and learning new things. I'm also trying to maintain my German and Italian language skills so being able to meet people who speak these languages would be a bonus!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak English as a mother tongue so can help anyone with learning it! Along the same line, I'd like to chat in German and Italian too so I can practise my own second and third languages.

I'm also vegan so I can share some tips, tricks and recipes for going vegan.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I offer friendly, funny and laid back company and would love to share experiences over some food and drink in a relaxed environment.

I'm a very tidy person who is more than happy to cook (as long as it's not meat), clean and wash up.

I can also share my interest in pop culture - I'd love to discuss, debate or share recommendations about books, TV, podcasts or movies as I'm always interested in discovering new things.
