I'm 29 and a phd student in Classics. You could consider me a nerd, I guess, but that's only half of the truth. I enjoy life – I enjoy traveling, reading, drinking coffee, having a nice break. I like to go for a walk, I'm committed to rock climbing, long distance running and road cycling, I also like hiking a lot. AND I absolutely love cooking vegetarian (most of the time vegan) food and I'm always happy to share some recipes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My greatest CS experience so far was traveling through the east of Canada for 5 weeks and only staying with local couchsurfing hosts. It was the most amazing trip! I've experienced so much hospitality and I've met so many great people.
Whenever there's enough space in my flat and enough time in my schedule, I offer to host travelers. I feel like they bring a lot of energy, curiosity and loveliness into my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

smiles are amazing to see

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty good at vegetarian / vegan cooking and am quite creative when it comes to adapting dishes for food sensitivities.
I could teach you some ancient Greek ;) and I'd love to share my thoughts, even though I can't really tell right now what those might be. And I'd love to get to know many new things that I can't even dream of at the moment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are a sports person, we should definitely do something together. Would love to go rock climbing, running or hiking together. And if you're not – well, there's always food and wine :)
