I'm a warm, calm and curious person who likes to visit interesting places, learn and experience new things (despite occasional wariness) and hug people. There's both zen and childlike wonder in my way of viewing the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like many others, I've learnt that couchsurfing is the best way to meet new people and cultures while travelling.

Interests

Studying linguistics, reading books, learning psychology and new languages. Collecting and drinking tea, going to some cool festivals or parties and folding origamis. Conversations about science or just "what if there were tiny sheep living under your armpits" - for example. Watching good anime series and playing beautiful video games, baking and cooking, petting sheep and dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to a two-week-trip to the UK alone - even though I hadn't travelled much before and this was my first trip alone. Before that I was pretty insecure of myself but the journey helped me to rely on myself and my English skills much more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Help when you need it, conversations and company, a bottle of soap bubbles. I can teach you to fold an origami crane.
