My name is Maria, I'm 25 years old, was born in Minsk, Belarus, but due to political situation after the elections in 2020 in Belarus, I had to move. I am currently living in Vilnius, Lithuania.

I am a practicing lawyer in corporate consulting (although it sounds way more serious than it actually is 😅)

I play piano, ukulele, and sing as well, I used to sing in a choir. I am not really into sports and god do I hate gym. Although I can enjoy an occasional volleyball game, table tennis, ice skating and dancing.

I am a feminist and a social activist. I organize a club for girls and women in Vilnius where we discuss various topics.

I'm really interested in travelling, cultural exchange and experience sharing

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an amazing opportunity to meet local people or to show other people your country from a local view ☺️
💉 I am fully vaccinated.
❗️Couchsurfing is not Tinder. I am not looking for any kind of romance either from hosts, guests or people I meet. Please let’s respect each other’s safety and privacy.
