I love adventure and traveling with respect for the cultures I'm visiting. I want to learn about the world and photograph it and make international friends along the way! I love hiking, free diving, pretty much anything outdoors. I am an outdoor educator and sailing instructor, and have a degree in Environmental Studies and Dance.
I love to dance and have been dancing since I was 6. Mainly ballet and contemporary but have also done ballroom, tap, Irish and hula.
My instagram is @oliviagazarian

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience parts of the world that are rich in culture and meet people I can learn from and share my culture as well. I like to meet genuine people and am very grateful to anyone who will take me! I would much rather stay with someone and speak to them as friends and learn something from each other than stay in a hostel. The experience is more real and kind.
