About Me:

I’m Ona, a creative soul with a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and the stories that connect us all. Whether I’m exploring a forest, sketching a new illustration, or sharing experiences with new friends, I’m always looking to find meaning and inspiration in life’s little moments. Art, music, and the outdoors are my passions, and I’m always excited to meet others who share these interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing:

I'm here to experience travel in its most authentic form—through the eyes of locals. I believe the best way to truly understand a place is by connecting with the people who live there. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to do just that, and I'm excited to meet new people and immerse myself in different cultures.

Favorite Destinations:

I've always dreamed of visiting New Zealand, captivated by its breathtaking landscapes and inspired by Lord of the Rings of course :D. Italy has stolen my heart, and I find myself returning to its art, history, and cuisine time and again. That said, I'm always on the lookout for new, exciting destinations to explore.

As a Guest:

I’m a responsible and considerate guest, always treating my hosts with respect and kindness. I enjoy engaging in meaningful conversations and love spending time with my hosts, whether it’s sharing a meal, exploring the local area, or just hanging out. I'm flexible and happy to go with the flow—whether you're up for a deep chat or just a quiet evening.

A Little More About Me:

I'm an artist with background in graphic arts, with a particular love for illustrations and exploring different artistic mediums. When I'm not creating, you’ll find me outdoors, soaking in the beauty of nature, or spending time with close friends. I’m always eager to connect with like-minded people and share our stories and experiences.
