Openness to experience

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy hosting people and learning about different lifestyles and cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Iran (Tehran, Esfahan, Shiraz). Hosted guests from Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Iran, Jordan, Japan, South Korea.

Currently, I don't have an opportunity to host. Would gladly meet up and show you around tho.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently, visiting Iran was the most amazing thing I've done. All those negative media stereotypes melt away when you experience their hospitality, joyfulness, and the colorfulness of the country . It inspired me really not to believe anything that I hear and experience it myself first!

Teach, Learn, Share

My house is your house. As long as we respect each other.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a certified English teacher. I can teach you some self-defense. Anything you want to know about Psychology. Make Lithuanian salad or cook a decent omelette. Tell you about my country and other countries I lived in or visited. We can do yoga or meditate together. I'll recommend you some good books, music, movies according to your taste. It's hard to tell. People are different that way so you'll never know what we can learn from each other. I'm always up for a good laugh and just hanging out too.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Iran, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey
