Hi, my name is Anna Maria and I am a college student from Slovakia who currently studies in the USA. I am a peaceful, open-minded, and easy-going person who loves spending time in nature and discovering new places and cultures. I guess, adventurous is a suitable description for me, as I feel most free with a backpack on my back, carrying my home with me around the world. I believe that living ecologically and caring about other beings makes the world a better place to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because when travelling, I do not want to be a tourist, but rather a pilgrim who learns and shares. As a student, I also appreciate the opportunity for low-cost travelling that Couchsurfing offers.
