About Me

I'm a university student studying English and Russian literature. I love languages and I'm currently working on mastering my third but I plan to learn many more. In terms of traveling, I'm much more interested in people than buildings.

I like going to concerts (been to loads) and often arrange my schedule around live music. I'm also big on books, poetry nights, and film. Artsy stuff is awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hanging with locals > hanging with tourists

Just started surfing people's couches and only good experiences so far! When I move to a bigger place I'll definitely take a turn hosting as well.
