Hi, my name is Lena. I like to travel, meet new people and culture of other countries. I'm very responsible (sometimes too much:). I appreciate in people kindness, sincerity, intelligence and sense of humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know the culture and the life of another country from the inside.

Interests

I am encouraged by the 5 things: new books, inspiring music, varied food, grandiose plans for the future and travel. I like to study (always visit different courses - painting, dancing, cooking, languages and more more more).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
