About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I did my practical training in Ontario, Canada for 2 months. Now I'm on the road again discovering the States for one month.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old student, very sweet, calm and trustworthy. I enjoy slow mornings, tall buildings and empty beaches. Oh and food of course, I could go on and on about it.

PHILOSOPHY

"But is it such a bad thing to live like this for just a little while? Just for a few months of one's life, is it so awful to travel through time with no greater ambition than to find the next lovely meal? Or to learn how to speak a language for no higher purpose than that it pleases your ear to hear it? Or to nap in a garden, in a patch of sunlight, in the middle of the day, right next to your favorite fountain? And then to do it again the next day?"
-Elizabeth Gilbert

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies... I grew up wishing to be like Amelie and she still has a special spot in my heart. I start my day with Ukulele tunes and jam Milky Chance quite often. I listen to music a lot, however the genres keep changing depending on the day. Books? I enjoy a book or two during my travels but mostly they're light nonsense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living 2 weeks in the middle of Sahara desert - have you ever thought how little it is what you really need for being happy?

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to make some fast and simple dishes! And if you just wish to have some company, I'm pretty smooth for an introvert.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bottle of wine for sure!
