About Me

Currently wandering through Asia with a backpack, a lot of curiosity, and a growing obsession with the Russian language. So far, I’ve made it through the first 4 Harry Potter books in Russian, which officially makes me a Potter fan. But Im an even bigger fan of learning through real conversations!

As a solo traveler, I love meeting new people and sharing stories. I’m especially drawn to places that don’t make it into glossy tourist brochures. For me, CS is the perfect way to explore the world through the people who live in it, preferably over good food, meaningful chats, and a bit of linguistic chaos along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a solo traveller I like to meet new people. However I also like to travel parts of the world that are not in every touristy brochure. Hence Couchsurfing is a lovely wat to get in touch with peeps.
