About Me

To be honest I'm just a girl who is trying to find herself in this big world but spends too much time on the Internet instead.

I really adore foreign languages though and I have a degree in Translation Studies and Linguistics. Nevertheless I never stop learning so I try to do my best in improving my English and Spanish and I still struggle with the latter.

I consider myself to be quite a positive and optimistic person so I don't let negativity and hatred rule my life. And I really believe that even one person can make a difference so I try to make the world a better place by even small things :) So I just explore the world, enjoy my life and improve my skills.

I'm really interested in different languages and cultures. So travelling especially helps me to learn new things about this beautiful world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people and learn new things from them. Besides I think it will be really interesting to learn about the culture of a certain country from a person who lives there and can tell you many useful and fascinating things about the city and the country. So I hope that couchserfing will give me new experience and new freinds :)
