About Me

Female guests (with or without kids)

I can show you around the old town, play a board game with you or accompany you to a rock climbing gym.

I don't smoke or drink. Almost. That doesn't mean I'm totally against it or something, but if your place is a 7-days-a-week drinking party, I wouldn't enjoy my stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hi everybody!
Thanks to this site I've had a great time during my stay in Czech Republic, Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, France and Germany and I've met a lot of interesting people. I'll try to stay an active member of the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been a very pleasant experience so far. I've participated in pre-organised collective meetings and I've arranged one-to-one meetings as well. Everybody was very kind and friendly! And I was told lots of interesting stories.
I've hosted several times and I've surfed in Bielorussia and Ukraine in 2013, in France and Latvia in 2014, in Germany in 2019.

Interests

Rock climbing, board games, English, Estonian, Japanese and foreign languages in general, going out with friends, different kinds of music, reading books or rather listening to audiobooks. I should say that some of my interests change drastically every once in a while. But some remain unchanged.
