Hi! I'm Angelina, which is pronounced with a "g" like in "gratitude" thanks to my Belarusian roots :)

I believe that preferred music tells a lot about a person - what one likes, what one surrounds with and what one relates? So, I created a short playlist to let you know me better. To be constantly updated: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3oCsA0wzzKzeIs8ulywKcV?si=df8f9e3cf918480b

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like the traditional "stay in a hotel -> visit touristic places-> try overpriced food spots on main streets" feels like exploring Ba Sing Se with a Joo Dee (for those who haven't watched the Avatar means that you do not really experience the full depth, beauty and culture of the place that you visit). And I curious about new cool, driven people who are passionate about life and willing to intersect for a short part of their journey.

While hosting for me is not an option yet because I live in a student room, I am very happy to give travellers a tour of Rotterdam and share my favourite off-beat places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved from my home country to the Netherlands a month after I turned 17 to study at a university. Almost four years since and still proud of myself :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

The excitement of exploring host’s country as if they are a tourist - it is easy to just get used to the place and people because it is your everyday routine and blur out the beauty of it :) Can also share my culture, raw thoughts and honest opinions. A great conversation, a laugh, and a new perspective on things.
