CURRENT MISSION

see the world, meet people, discover myself

ABOUT ME

At the moment, I'm working for some months in Madrid (research on migration issues). I'm a politically active person (radical left) but am trying to relax more in life and not get to excited about everything that goes wrong in the world :)
I try to go as much as I can into nature, even though I'm a big fan of the superdiversity, its activities and architecture you can find in the city...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
