Hey there! My name is Margarita and I share my name with a flower, a pizza, a drink and two islands, one by the Danube and one in the Caribbean.
I am nothing more and nothing less than a short girl from Cyprus with big curly hair, who is curious to explore the world and meet new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to get to meet a place/ culture by meeting local people who can show me what is hidden from the eyes of a tourist.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am mostly into rock music but I also enjoy other genres like reggae, ska and latin.

I like the action/fantasy/crime/mystery/history movies and I really enjoy going to the cinema.

I have read a lot of books in my life and I would like to read more. My favorite kind of books is the historical novels and my favorite writer is Fyodor Dostoevsky. Lately, I am reading scientific articles, books related to historical constructions and Milan Kundera. I write some short stories myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing that I've done when I was living and studying in Portugal and the Czech Republic is that I have made friends from different countries around the world and got to know something about their languages and cultures.

An amazing thing, that happened to me in Prague, was that one night I shared my food and my place with a hungry and tired hitchhiking traveler from the US, who I met in a couchsurfing karaoke event.
