I'm a student who travels whenever it's possible. I've been studying journalism for 3 years when I realised wasn't really my thing . I'm continuing my education at the moment: I'm studying linguistics. Love meeting new people (though I consider myself as an introvert). Couchsurfing sounds like fun to me. Singing to myself all the time, drawing occasionally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people who love travelling as much as I do. I really would like to see the city from the perspective of a local !

Interests

russian poetry: Vladimir Mayakovsky, Alexander Blok, Velimir Khlebnikov

japanese art & culture: literally anything from gagaku to sailor moon. also fashion: yohji yamamoto and rei kawakubo are the best
