My name is Mariya and I am a 20 y.o. art student. Currently living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands during the study and planning on heading to England afterwards.
I am very easy-going, social and adventurous. Most of my friends would describe me as "a little hurricane".
My greatest passion is music. Trying to make this hobby into a profession.
I love travelling, spontaneous trips somewhere far (the further the better), mingling with locals, sharing stories over beer, getting lost in the cities and exploring with eyes wide open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of "travelling with a heart" when you don't just check into a hostel for a free bunk.
I want to make new friends across the world, share stories and listen to them in return, watch how beautifully strangers turn into mates.
