I am Gigi, from Georgia; Currently an Erasmus exchange student in European-University-Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), studying Cultural and Social sciences. I have been doing my first Erasmus in Free University of Berlin in the last summer semester, studying Political Sciences. And as you may guess, I live in Germany already for almost an year, trying to explore as many different places as possible, meet as many people as possible and live the best part of my life.

As an Erasmus exchange, I am eager to explore Europe, see as many places as possible, meet new people and discover their cultures, talk with have, have fun with them....Anything that might remind us of good old days in the future.

Besides Cultural backgrounds, I am eager to listen to the personal stories of individuals that are sometimes more interesting than just their social background. Sharing our personal stories, listening and observing to the others and discovering new perspectives and views - those are the things that I find especially interesting and the things that really help us to grow up.

I travel alone. Traveling with friends is surely better for having a good time, but I’m trying to find myself while being in another places, so I prefer solo trips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the easiest way for me to explore local communities.

I like travelling and exploring alone, but I love when I create memories with completely strange people.
