CURRENT MISSION

Do as much as I can while I still have the chance

ABOUT ME

My name is Sveta (full name Svetlana), and I'm an avid traveler. I'm hooked on meeting new people and seeing a different slice of culture. I hate beach resorts. I recently graduated from college with a psych degree, and now I'm a freelance writer and sometimes dabble in film production. Overall, I'm a very outgoing and social person. I'm usually up for anything, especially with a new friend.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?"

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed for two weeks in Scotland and my first hosts, who I stayed a week with, were absolutely fascinating, fun, and intelligent.

Since then I've hosted single travelers, as well as an entire band.
