I'm Bettina!
I am 23 years old and I am from Timisoara, Romania, currently studying Architecture in Bruxelles! I believe that I can learn far more from seeing the world myself than I ever could sitting in a lecture hall.

I love traveling and spontaneous ideas and trips and I wish to see as much of the world as possible! I am implicated in various volunteering projects and ONGs which fight for the salvation and restoration of architectural partimony. Besides this and my studies, I am a part-time illustrator for children's books. Since I am a student with quite a low budget, I adapt easily to any circumstance, nothing can ruin a great evening spent among people who love to share their experience!

I speak English, Romanian, Hungarian and mid-level French.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I am a student, I have a low income but that does not stop me from traveling!
I am really interested in places, people and society and getting to know someone local is the best way to find out the secrets of a place and local people's habits. I have stayed with friends from other countries, I have hosted people from other countries and I want to continue the habit. It's a lot more personal and friendly way of getting accomodation than a hotel without personality.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: mostly indie and rock.
Books: architectural theory and philosophy/history. I need the book to make me think. I cannot read a book that tells me nothing, just a neutral story.
