Originally from Romania, I've had the privilege of calling Denmark my home for the past 11 wonderful years. This country has embraced me with open arms, and I've built a truly fulfilling life here that I cherish deeply. As I reflect on my journey, I can confidently say that Denmark has captured my heart, and I can't imagine leaving, except for the occasional adventures that lure me into exploring new horizons.

My Danish journey began when I arrived in Copenhagen as a student. I had the incredible opportunity to pursue my education at Copenhagen Business School, and in 2018, I proudly completed my studies. Throughout my academic journey, I had the pleasure of working alongside numerous innovative tech start-ups, which fueled my passion for entrepreneurship.

After graduating, my career path led me to exciting positions at renowned companies like IKEA and Danske Bank. However, in this transformative year of 2023, I made the decision to step away from the corporate world and embark on a new chapter of my life. I'm now eagerly seeking inspiration and exploring avenues to launch my own project—an endeavor that fills me with anticipation and excitement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In order to embrace new adventures and nurture my passion for travel, I'm always on the lookout for fascinating individuals who can ignite my sense of wanderlust and provide cultural enrichment. I prioritize meaningful connections with people over simply checking off tourist attractions on my itinerary. For instance, I find great joy in sharing a delightful meal and engaging in cheerful conversations with unfamiliar faces in a cozy pub, even if it means missing out on waking up early the next day to catch the boat to see the Statue of Liberty (a true story!). I believe that genuine human interactions can create memories that truly define the essence of my travels.

Interests

I am interested in traveling in order to put myself in a different environment and experience a new culture. Not for the sake of seeing a new building. My interests are more about finding beautiful connections with "strangers", and experiencing together something new and exciting about a thing (location/activity) I haven't even thought about before.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy many different genres of music but mostly feel-good music from the 70s-90s and music that motivates me a bit, like Eminem and 50 Cent.

My favorite movies are: Into the Wild, The Bucket List, and Coco.

I'm into personal growth books - Tim Ferriss, Ryan Holiday, Derek Sivers, DHH, etc
