Hey! I was born and grew up in Minsk (the capital). I spent my whole childhood with art people. My mom used to work in the Contemporary gallery, that's how I met many cool people. I have an amazing sister who's an artist. Some people still think that we're twins. That's not true. But I am pleased to hear it every time. It so happened that I chose music. That was my best decision I've ever made. My instrument is the flute. I always enjoyed exploring the countries. I am an openhearted person, very energetic. Sometimes impatient, can't sit in one place.
If you don't have much time to hanging out with me then don't worry about it. I'll think up what to do.
I can assure you I’ll be a good guest at your home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and making friends. Can't imagine my life without traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After the protests in Belarus in 2020 I had to leave my country with realizing I am not gonna be back soon. It's been already 2 years. Would I change my mind and participate in the protests for staying in my country? Definitely no. It was necessary. For these 2 years I've already lived in 2 countries. You never know what's gonna be next.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play flute. Or take some pics of you, I'm quite good at it as well (insta: @jana_szcz). Cultural exchange, if you would like to learn some languages that I know, it will be my pleasure to help you.
