“Her house is her backpack,” as my mom likes to say, and my best friend once told me, “I feel lucky to find you in the city.” These words perfectly capture who I am, a curious soul who thrives in multicultural environments and finds joy in connecting with people.

I could spend (and already spent) hours learning how Japanese people celebrate their holidays from my Japanese friend whom I met in my previous United Nations internship or perfecting a lasagna alla bolognese recipe with my Erasmus friends from all over the world in Italy. For me, life is about traveling, making meaningful connections, and embracing new experiences.

I’m happiest when sharing a homemade meal with a host family or laughing while playing with my baby cousin. These moments remind me of the importance of human connection and the beauty of small joys.

So far I lived in Turkey, Italy, Austria and Hong Kong for long term and travelled to Macao, Vietnam, Greece, North Macedonia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, Poland, France, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Switzerland. I also transitted through Thailand and China where I wish to go back to see for real this time! Currently, I work remotely for a US based company to be able to travel more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a sucker for silly Eurovision songs! Movies varies but I’m more into k-dramas these days. Open to hear some recommendations about basic business books!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Bologna for my Erasmus in the middle of Covid :) It was the best year of my life!
