Overview
About Me
Labas!
I am a pretty much self-taught content creator with a bachelor's degree in interior design. During my studies, I realized I enjoy graphic design and photography much more than interior design and until this day, I guess, it's legit to say I'm still figuring out what to do in my life and where's my place in the world. I feel like I had a passion for traveling since my early childhood but it transformed into love in 2015, when I first experienced living abroad. I had the pleasure to live for 5 months in Porto, later 3 months in Madrid and since then I decided I want to live here, there and everywhere!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to get to know a local culture when I travel (grasp a little bit of it at least). The best way to do that is to meet the locals!

Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC
B a n k s is everything!
I love so much different styles in music. Some of my fav bands and artists are: Radiohead, Glass Animals, alt-J, Tame Impala, Muse, Coldplay, Rüfüs Du Sol, Sigur Rós, Kiasmos, Ólafur Arnalds etc. I adore Beyoncé.
BOOKS
It's hard to choose the favorite one because I like everything I read. I enjoyed reading The Master and Margarita, Between Shades of Gray, Me Before You, Burial Rites, Angels and Demons, Fahrenheit 451. Currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari.
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan!
MOVIES
Basically, every movie made by Christopher Nolan is my favorite. It's even more perfect if it includes Hans Zimmer's music.
However, I was really impressed by Shutter Island, Arrival, Imitation Game, The Machinist, I Origins, Wild and so much more!
TV SHOWS
Game of Thrones, Sherlock, and Black Mirror are just the most amazing TV shows I've ever seen.
But I also like Big Little Lies, The Handmaid's Tale, The End of the F***ing World, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The 100, True Detective, Westworld, Lost.
I love documentaries, particularly Chef's Table.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I overslept the bus to the festival and planned a completely new trip at the very last minute. The place of the festival was 400 km from my city and I had just a few hrs to get somehow there (note: it was pretty complicated because in order to reach the place I had to change trains few times)! But I made it :)
