Hi!I'm Genwa; you're probably pronouncing it wrong, but that's alright! :) I was born in Syria, spent my childhood in Russia, and now I'm a resident in Portugal. Between finishing my studies and trying to figure out how adulthood works, I volunteer, play the violin, and learn new languages. But above all, I can't wait to see the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel but I'm too broke for hotels ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In any case I would still think that it makes much more sense staying with someone who knows the city, with whom you can have a nice chat, learn from each other, etc. I find couchsurfing an excellent opportunity to meet new people and expand your horizons, and this is why I'm here! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite read are George Bernard Shaw's plays
I can't choose a favorite movie, but willing to fight on the fact that the original Star Wars trilogy is better than the prequels!
In music I'm into anything and everything really, would always be up to be introduced or introduce to new music, from classical to metal
I'm a Potterhead and a Slytherin, but I promise I won't bite!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew out of Syria on the Portuguese Air Force plane, and yes - it's even more epic than it sounds xD
