Hi, I'm Adriana. Some of my friends call me Daria. Chose either one, whichever is easier in your mother tongue. 🖐️

Liberal, queer-feminist, professional social-worker and deaconess as well as non-professional portrait artist, karaoke singer and poetry writer. 👩🏻‍🎨 👩🏻‍🎤
I love being outdoors, hiking, cycling, swimming, rock climbing, skiing, going on road trips and traveling in general! 🏕️ I practice yoga and go to the gym when I find the time. Also enjoy handicrafts like knitting and sewing, especially making personalised toys like sockmonkeys.
Enjoy learning languages, according to where I am currently living. I speak German, English and French fluently and I understand a bit of Spanish and Estonian. I don't like small talk much, I like connecting on a deeper level.

Vegetarian/vegan consumption and a sustainable lifestyle are important to me. 🌱
I don't usually smoke or drink, but you are free to do so. (Smoking outside!) If you want to get me a gift, please no chocolate or alcohol. I'll just pass it on.

I welcome people from all countries, backgrounds, cultures, religious beliefs etc. BUT please do not bother requesting a stay with me if you are against rights for the women and the LGBTQIA* community or you hold abelist views.

Also this is not a dating platform, do not message me in hopes of just getting a ONS.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In general, I love meeting new people that share their life stories with me. I learn so much and I grow through all these amazing insights into other people's lives and experiences. 🙃

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
1984 - George Orwell
Corpus Delicti - Juli Zeh
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
... And basically any Utopia/Dystopia themed novels or anything written by Hans Fallada, Franz Kafka, Paulo Coelho or Stephen King. I like the German and English classics in literature.
Most of the time, I will not be reading novels, but books about psychology, pedagogies or communication.

Movies:
Lord of the Rings
The Great Gatsby
... but honestly I don't watch a lot of movies unless it's in good company, so I'm open to recommendations. But please, no violence and bloodshed 🙈

Music:
Longtime favourites are Evanescence & Nightwish. Otherwise depending on my mood everything from Taizéchants to Metal.
