I am a traveller. I have a thing for airports and airplanes. Traveling helps me a lot with creative writing (which is the biggest of my hobbies). It helps me create well rounded characters, write twisted plots, and invent new imaginary worlds.
Travelling taught me to see magic in the tiniest things. It made me more adventurous and more willing to explore and discover things I never experienced before.
It helped me grow and mature, it made me more accepting and tolerant with people. It made me more human.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people who speak different languages, who have various cultural and national backgrounds, and who enjoy learning about other countries. I try to travel to a new place every single year, and I put a huge effort into learning the language of the country I am visiting, and into learning about the customs and the traditions of the place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in Laramie, Wyoming (a place travellers generally avoid) for 3 years. Although I am a city girl, who comes from a very warm country, and had never lived abroad for that long, I could live in Laramie, WY. It snowed from Oct till May, there were very few people living there, the wind there could literally blow you off your feet, and there were no shopping malls or a lot of places for hanging out.
However, I loved it! It was one of the best experiences of my life. It is then when I have learned that it is the people who make the place, and that there is nothing called a bad experience or a good experience; experience is a package with bright sides and down sides.
