About Me

Freshly graduated student. Crazy about travelling, that's the first thing I would spend any money for.
Studied international law and crazy about it, participated in every international legal competition in Europe and USA, that was the time I started travelling a lot. Now can't really stop choosing next spot to travel to.
Not a very lucky travel person, I am always almost late for buses and plains, but somehow manage to do that again and again.
Love cats and dogs. Read a lot and dream of organising my own theatre play -Devils Pupil by Bernard Shaw.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to learn about the country from inside is to meet the people.
Hotels may be a comfort zone, that does not let you to dive in to the atmosphere. Almost all my travelling befoe was for studying and competitions, so I hardly ever had the chance to really learn the countries.
And of course firtly being a student and then a beginner in professional life, cannot always afford to stay somewhere else.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite book and film is probably the Silence of lambs. Love all the movies with Antonie Hopkins.
Also crazy about the novels of Scott Fitzgerald.
Favourite music - Within Temptation, Animal Jazz, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran. Recently became interested in rap battles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- spend a night at the streets of London. Would not like to do it again, but that was a crazy experience.
- catch a plain after arriving 20 minutes before its departure,
- won Harward Law school in a legal competition,
- founded an organisation of law students in Belarus (ELSA)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Being from Belarus, the country not everyone even knows about, I can certainly fill in this gap. Including of course the Belarusian cousine, which I can cook.
I am not boring, as someone can think of a law student or lawyer. Can talk about a lot of things, starting from movies, food, pets and ending with green energy or human rights.
