About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, learn about cities and the people who live in them

ABOUT ME
Spent the past 8 months traveling (India, Myanmar, Nepal and Russia), the US is the last stop before going back home. In every new place I first like to wander around and discover the area, but try not to miss the cultural attractions. I studied Sociology and Economics in the B.A. (droped from economics and regret it very much) and Urban Plannig (love it, best decission ever) in the M.A. Used to play the cello once upon a time and always wish to get back to it sometime.

PHILOSOPHY
Identify the problem correctly and you'r half way to finding the solution.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the couchsurfing platform allows people who would otherwise never meet to find eachother and spend some time together. It makes traveling cheaper, more accessible and a lot more interesting.

Interests

I am interested in people, in their behaveyour, their way of life, what make it easy for them, what they are troubled by. It makes me perfer deep conversations over simple small talk. I also like phisical activities sometimes even extreme sports. Will never say no to a music or theatre performance, although I may be a little criticle at the end. Actually I'm one of those people who are interested in almost everything and can hardly choose a focus in life, so whatever it is you like to do I'm game.
