Hello, I'm 23 years old and my name is Baru.

CURRENTLY: I am looking for accommodation from July – October 2023 in Reykjavík, Island. I have been accepted for an internship at RIFF (Reykjavík International Festival) together with some other girl classmates via Erasmus.

I am an art school student and my biggest passion are books. Reading, illustrating, binding, you name it. Also I have knowledge about art history - that's one of the reasons why I love travelling. I am also fond of Japanese culture.

I love trying new food, and getting to know new music and movies.

I am interested in self-development, philosophy, psychology, sociology, cinematography ... I love talking about conspiracy theories and I am definitely not a person for a small talk!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason really is that I'm a student on a budget.

But I really do love getting to know new people and seeing their perspective on the world, hearing their opinions, observing their minds, and letting them to do the same.
