About Me

👣 A restless traveller
🎧 Music addict
🇪🇺Young Erasmus Entrepreneur

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see places through the eyes of the people who live there. I'm not interested in following in the footsteps of every other tourist. I'd like to make new friends and see hidden gems of the places I visit.

Interests

I love traveling, learning languages and torturing my guitar.
I'm never bored, I always find things to do. I enjoy living a simple life and exploring new places.

  • singing
  • yoga
  • cycling
  • hiking
  • kayaking
  • swimming
  • learning languages
  • sea
  • playing guitar
  • exploring new places
  • roller skating
  • meeting new people
  • hanging out with friends
  • drinking coffee
  • walking in nature

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into blues, jazz and rock music.
I'm a fan of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Kills, The White Stripes, Portishead, Radiohead, Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Queens of the Stone Age, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, etc.
I like reading Hemingway and Kerouac's novels when I travel🚆

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a solo trip to Berlin, Thesaloniki and Warsaw. This experience changed my mindset completely. I fought my fear of backpacking Europe on my own and I realized how awesome people are from different countries. We're different but the same.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach English, learning Spanish and share my travel stories

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell funny stories from my travelling/volunteering in Portugal, cook borsch and teach you a bit of Ukrainian. If you have a guitar, we can make a small home concert😌
