About Me

People say I'm quite easy-going, sociable and friendly. I like meeting new people and exploring new things in the world, literature, foreign languages and new cultures. That's why I'm interested in international projects that help to discuss important topics in quite an informal way and bring people of different nationalities to a better understanding of history, political situations, human right, etc. I have already been a trainer a couple of times and it is an amazing experience to see how people are growing or how they become friends no matter what nationality they are. I'm also interested in international law, so learning new cultures to make our world better is a must for me! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do not travel very often, but when my husband and me travel alone, we find that it's quite interesting to meet people who represent this or that country. Now we live in one room flat, but we are always happy when our foreign friends meet us, so we can share our experiences, show some interesting places in the city we live or just to have a nice time together. Hotels are fine, but it's much better to meet some natives in the city who are also open-minded and who maybe will become new friends and will be able to meet us once too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was at school, I somehow managed to do so that my mother, who brought me up alone, and my favourite teacher got acquainted and fell in love with each other. Now I have a great younger brother :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can definitely cook something tasty for my host, tell about my country , share my experience about some international projects I've participated in and I'm sure that we can spend a great time communicating. Also, as I love chocolate, I would definitely bring some traditional sweets with me to share :)
