I am a Nursing Student looking forward to seeing as much of Europe and meeting as many cool, adventurous people as I can this summer!
If you want to see my adventures (or make recommendations), my IG is @maria_minkin 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get away from the main tourist destinations to meet the local people and learn about their stories and cultures. As a student it's amazing that I can do this :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Reggaeton, indie and remixes. I know it's a weird combo 😜
I have a Kindle full of suggestions, just need the time now 🙈
I prefer shows over movies, ask me and I'll send you a list of all the best shows you need to watch right now!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have immigrated with my parents from Russia to Israel and then again from Israel to Canada, all before I turned 9. I have 3 citizenships.
I rode an aggressive camel and almost died 🙈
I slept in the Negev dessert in a Bedouin tent.
I worked as a living red carpet and an ambience unicorn, just ask 😜
