Hola hola
I'm Monika. Originally from Lithuania but have been traveling on and off for the past 4-5 years. I've spent a good amount of time studying in Asia; at the moment doing an internship in Denmark meanwhiles working on some textile/sustainability related project🌱

A film and photography lover; also like looking at buildings and nice balconies and blast 80s synthpop in the morning. Traveling is one of my favorite things in the world. I genuinely enjoy creative / underground spaces - for me it is the backstage, the heartbeat of cities I visit and this is what I'm usually trying to discover.

INFP. I can literally stay in the bookstore for 3 hours. Or 4 in a coffee shop if it's cozy.
A little bit of life from my eyes:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's much more enriching to discover new places through people. CS has brought me some beautiful friendships, meaningful conversations and I value these shared experiences a lot!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Okay I'm moving again, this time it's Denmark. At this point I am unable to host anyone, however I'm available for meetupss. If you happen to be in Kolding (it's the most random place to be tho) - feel free to reach out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a lot of wonderful hosts during my road trip in 2014 (Germany-Italy-Monaco-France)
