ABOUT ME

This is the most difficult question that could ever be asked... I may only guess what I am like from the outside:) so, I suppose I'm quite friendly, I love meeting new people and old friends, exploring new countries and revisiting the ones I've already been to, I love photography, languages and literature. I adore the very process of learning the way to communicate with people from other cultures, and English is an old love of mine. I am crazy about English accents... what else? I am eager to travel and if only I had lots of money and didn't have to apply for a visa each time, you would hardly find me at home.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to love the very moment I'm living... and I suppose help somebody who needs a hand if I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm trying to host people and also show them around or at least help them with some advice. If not hosting, I'm always glad to meet up)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS in the spring of 2009 and have already met so many great people!!! I've been a host multiple times and I have also been hosted by amazing people in the UK, France and Germany. I think that all people who are here are very special and extraordinary just because they're here and to me couchsurfing serves as proof that the world can rely on mutual respect and trust.
