Hi everyone!)
I’m Sonya and I reallyyyy like travelling!
I try to study well as I’m finishing school this year.
In my free after school time I learn languages, sometimes do sports and actively participate in our youth organisation's events. I'm one of the leaders at youth organisation Young Folks LV, based in Riga, where I work with kids, teenagers and youth. I also participate in Erasmus+ exchanges and meet people all around the world)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that intercultural dialogue is one of the best things to get to know a new country and mentality of it. CouchSurfing is one of the best way to see the coutry and culture from teh inside as well as to make new people and make new friends.
I'm new here, but I have already heared so many stories from my friends, that i deffinetely need to try!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have participated in 5 youth exchages under the Erasmus+ program. 3 of them my friends and I have written by ourselves)

Teach, Learn, Share

Nonformaleducation is the best way to learn something new. When you experience it - you learn it.
This kind of getting to know new people is a great way to raise social and cultural awarness and develop new competences and skills.
