NOTE: Due to a series of unfortunate experiences I'm only hosting women unless I've gotten to know you better somehow and learned that I can trust you (CS is not a dating site!). With that said, feel free to write me if you wanna hang out, have a beer or need someone to show you around, regardless of your gender :)

What to say?

I'm small, but kinda loud and smile and laugh a lot. I have very big gesticulations and a tendency to get really passionate about a subject and, hence, even louder (especially if there's beer or wine involved). I talk even more when I'm nervous, and that's why no one believes me when I tell them that I'm actually incredibly shy. I love words, reading and writing, and I'm definitely one of those annoying grammar people that will bore you with monologues about what I'm currently reading. Moreover, I'm deeply in love with the human brain and health questions in general, and my friends will call me nerdy on a regular basis.

I guess I'm at a point in my life where I'm realizing that everything has to change for me to be the person that I wish to be.

I love cooking and baking, and if you stay with me, there's a chance you'll try some vegan food or desserts (yes, I'm one of those vegans).

I think people in general care too much about irrelevant matters (like how big a car they got or what their co-workers ate for lunch) and too little about the big existential questions. Personally, my biggest fear is not feeling free, or worse yet, not using the freedom I have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm. I'm an excellent vegan cook and then I have plenty of stories to tell. And if you wanna learn about neuropsychology, I'd also be up for the task!
