Hello strangers! :) I am Valerie - Interior designer from Minsk, Belarus. As an architecture lover, I try to find beauty everywhere in places and in people. A little bit more info about me u'll see here below and on instagram: @leraleppard Please welcome :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am the person who dreams about travelling almost every day in my life, because somewhere beyond the horizon there is so many countries and new cities, people and new unforgettable emotions. I adore acquaintance with new people, learn and observe their interests and emotions, which they brought from their homeland, brought a part of the culture which they are a part of. Another great thing I would like to achive is to learn many languages, but so far my efforts are limited with Polish, German and
Italian a bit :) Sooooo i am really happy that there is this kind of amazing social club of travellers all around the world who can join and help each other on their "road of journey", make it comfortable, cheerful and even cheap!
