About Me

Belarusian living in Wroclaw, Poland. I am curious traveller, open minded and uncomplicated.
I often think of myself as exceptionally fortunate. My journey has led me to cross paths with some truly remarkable souls. Diving deep into conversations, seeking parallels in our worlds, and understanding the essence of what makes someone unique, are moments I cherish immensely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Around ten years ago, I had my first big adventure when I went to Slovakia to study. I had a dream to see Venice, but my budget was super tight. That's when Couchsurfing came to my rescue. I found my first host who not only welcomed me warmly but also showed me the hidden, less touristy spots in their city. I can't really put into words how amazing I felt during that trip. It kind of shaped who I am today.

After university, I traveled quite a bit, but I didn't use Couchsurfing again. I've seen a lot and done a lot, and while I still love traveling, that initial excitement has faded a bit.

Don't get me wrong; I still adore traveling. But now, I want to try Couchsurfing again to recapture that old excitement. I want to return to Venice, almost a decade later, to see how I've changed and how the city has changed. I'm here to relive those incredible moments and bring back the magic.

Interests

Reading holds a special place in my heart. Nature's serenity, especially the forests, provide solace, and I take immense pleasure in nature's lap. When not amidst books or trees, I'm playing my PlayStation or trying my hand at skateboarding.

Books: Gabriel Garcia Marquez tops my list with his magical realism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had my fair share of interesting, funny, and downright silly adventures in life.

I once stood atop a Mayan pyramid in Mexico, gazing out over hundreds of kilometres of lush jungle, and couldn't help but imagine the hidden secrets beneath it - ancient cities and civilizations lost to time.

On a sweltering July night, far from civilization, I witnessed the enchanting spectacle of fireflies gracefully dancing at the base of a remote mountain. It was a moment of pure magic.

In the Armenian mountains, amidst the ruins of an abandoned astrophysical observatory, I found myself at an electronic music festival. Where I opened a beer bottle with my teeth, as if to challenge the universe. Beer: 1, Braces: 0.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a couple of Belarusian phrases. It's a unique opportunity since there aren't many Belarusians, and not all of them speak Belarusian. You'll get some exclusive knowledge :)
