My name is Iia . . .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After having heard all the funny, fascinating stories from my friends, I have decided to check couchsufing out. I think, as long as there are cool people who are willing to share their homes with basically stranger for no obvious benefit, just to make friends from all over, there is still hope for humanity. That is the world I want to be part of.

Interests

I love learning bad words in every possible language;
I love going to places I have never been before;
Crazy about road trips, especially with a good road trip mixtape;
I enjoy watching movies and let's face it binge watching tv shows (finished three seasons of Orange is the New Black in one week, and yes, I am proud of that);
I love/hate gym;
Started doing yoga not long ago, and I enjoy it a lot;
I like occasionally escaping reality with a really good book;
Say food and I will be there;
I can spend hours shopping, but really prefer to do it alone;
...and many more...
