willkommen, bienvenue, bienvenidos, kia ora,...
how do you say welcome?

You've made the first step by reading my profile to meet someone new while couchsurfing, travelling or just hosting me.
I am Anna, nature and book lover, environmental engineer, passionate hiker, straight, friendly, open-minded, honest, ambitious, creative and optimistic person. I love listening to different types of music but I am definitely not a musician. If I had to repeat a rhythm by clapping I would fail straight away. Just give it a try! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me just visiting places and new countries is not enough...travel must have people, culture and a variety of landscape. Because of that I prefer to stay with locals, share experience, meals and other things to not feel like a tourist...more like home. And I believe in the fact that once you're giving as much as you can to others, you'll get the same back sometime or even more.
