About Me

🎨 I am an artist working in Bucharest, Romania. My lifestyle here involves drawing and painting, vegan parties, and lots of bookworming. I am also involved in volunteering with local NGOs.

🛋 SURFERS:

🙋🏻‍♀️✍️ Because I value communication, I will select guests who share at least one of my interests and one language. Not accepted: empty profiles, vague requests to “learn about the local culture.”

🤷🏻‍♀️🪂 The friends section is for people I know from positive Couchsurfing experiences or real-life friendship. Please stop sending me random friend requests.

🥦🥗 Only vegan food is allowed at my place.
(Note you don’t have to be already 100% vegan, just genuinely interested and willing to learn. I’m not someone who will apologize for caring or for defending the voiceless.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A decision I made at 14 to become a traveller changed my life forever. ⛩
But travel is still a huge privilege, so I’d like to contribute to making it more accessible, and to promote responsible and sustainable travel practices at the same time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I found people after first meeting them in dreams or asking if they existed. 👀
I live my life in such ways as I can feel amazed throughout. So there is a long list... best left for chatting in person. 👻

Teach, Learn, Share

🌞 The most important thing I’m learning is the vision that I can identify with the freedom I find on my travels, instead of worrying about explaining myself back home. That was quite a revelation!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I grew up with a Romanian custom known as “the visit” - being taken along to meet new and old family friends and playing in their fascinating homes for a day or two. I enjoy recreating that atmosphere from both perspectives: as a welcoming host or a well-behaved guest.

Here are some things I often do when I visit:

🥬 cooking vegan recipes
🫖 long talks over a cup of tea
🚶🏻‍♀️ walking
⛰ hiking
🐇 looking after pets
🎁 bringing handmade gifts
🖼 I create art based on Jungian readings of your trinket displays
