Hi everyone! My name is Darya. I am from Belarus and I live in its capital - Minsk. I’m a 22 y.o. recent graduate with a major in intercultural communication currently working online in the spheres of translation, advertising, and English teaching. Most of all I love traveling, geography, going to the cinema (and then discussing films with my friends), and taking photos of beautiful corners of the new places I visit and, of course, people:) I also like animals and have two cats and a chinchilla.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of Couchsurfing itself is incredibly appealing to me: traveling and discovering new cultures and people while spending time with people who have the same passion as me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - Haruki Murakami, Francis Scott Fitzgerald are two authors who first came to my mind, still I would say that my preferences differ depending on mood. Tv shows - Game of Thrones, Grey’s Anatomy, Handmaid’s tale, Peaky Blinders, How I met your mother, Shameless and a lot of more. I am really a tv series binge watcher:) Movies - Darren Aronofsky, David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino are among my favourite directors. Music - Lorde, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Latino music (sometimes lyrics are sooo cringey, but I love the rhythm a lot).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some words in Russian, Belarusian, English, and Spanish, and also offer you some photography, geography and cooking classes. I am interested in anything you would like to discuss with me, be it culture, politics, music, etc.:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything I know in the sphere of intercultural communication, geography, photography, languages and cooking. What’s more important, I can share my experience and I hope to listen to and discuss yours, too.
