I'm a daughter, sister, uncle and.. architecture student! The last one completely describes my life. Studying architecture takes all my time. And I love it! But I'm always trying to find time for my friends. I like to draw cities and people. Meeting new people, different places are a really important experience to me.

My main source of inspiration is the people. The affection to humanity is my fundamental reason to be an architect. I believe in art, poetry, and architecture. It is a celebration of humanity and dignity. Architecture is my way to change the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a perfect way to find interesting people in different parts of the world. The experience of living in an authentic context, communication with local residents is important to me. It helps understand the "genius loci".
