Hello! I'm Kalina. I love travelling, doing sports and spending time in nature. That's why my biggest passion is orienteering - a sport in which you run with a map and a compass among the trees in the mountain or on the streets of a beautiful city. I also do climbing, MTB, running, sailing, rowing...(you can tell, I've got energy to spend on fun things) I'm a spontaneous person who rarely has a plan and always craves adventures.
I grew up in Varna, Bulgaria and travelled around the country since I was born. When I graduaded, I moved to Zwolle, Netherlands for uni, I also went to Tirana, Albania for an internship and now I just finished a semester abroad in Tokyo, Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up with couch surfers! My father was an active host and we often had someone from a different nationality at home, we even had a separate room for the surfers! Now, grown up a bit, my time for surfing has come. I love exploring different cultures and I travel with a passion. My Balkan hospitality is also calling so I would love to host some wanderers too.
