I find it quite challenging to write about myself, but let's give it a try.

My name is Anna and I love to travel.

I'm an easy-going person, that is always able to keep a conversation going. Whenever I'm in a new place I'm more interested in the people and their culture than the architecture or buildings. That's mostly why I decided to give CS another try.
I've recently discovered that what makes me happiest is the sun with some sand under my feet.
[update 2019: the snow capped peaks make me really happy too...]
I like to spend my time actively. When a day is sunny, there is nothing that would keep me from leaving home. For that reason I also like many sports. In the winter, since I was little, I've always been skiing, in the summer I also try surfing and if I found myself lucky to be in the mountains I’ll never say no to a hike.

Since January I’m travelling around Latin America and loving it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I explained a bit of that above. But mostly, I discovered that there is nothing like visiting a place when somebody that knows it perfectly is your guide. Not only you're getting to the best places, like local bars, but also you're able to get why people in that specific place behave in that specific way, how do they manage their everyday lives, and so on... Only this can give you the experience of really travelling, not just visiting a place.

I love showing my city to people too :)

Interests

I cannot imagine how life would be without music... A good movie or a book is always good on a rainy day. Of course, I'm interested in travelling.
I like IT, AI, and technology in general.
I like sports, all kinds of, skiing, surfing, volleyball, football (rather watching, and I mean soccer all the non-Europeans ;)), swimming, jogging, ....
And I truly love every single dog in the world, so if you walk somewhere with me and you think you've lost me, I just stopped to play with a dog probably.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music always differ a lot, depending on my mood. Sometimes, when trying to focus, I like to listen to some classical music, other times I can enjoy some electro. Normally, I like to listen to some chilled tunes, folk/indie rock, or just rock.
I probably know every episode of Friends.
Hard to pick up a favorite movie, but I guess Into the Wild is one of the favorites. Next to that there is Seven, Fight Club, The Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Forrest Gump, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, La vita e bella, Inception, Pianist, American History XShutter Island, Marley & I...
Basically I like movies a lot.
