About me

Hii I am an Erasmus Mundus student and I love travelling around. I constantly move from one country to another with my program. I love festivals, media arts, volunteering and digital rights activism. I cook amazing couscous and I love hiking and discovering places. It’s a bit exhausting to move from one place to another but I’m starting to have a home in so many places around the world and I am happy to have met so many great people that I keep in touch with until now.
