I'm an easy-going and optimistic person. A bit shy, but very friendly and positive :)

At the moment I'm studying for a Master's degree in Intercultural communication and work as a content manager for an IT-company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's fascinating and fun. I am very curious about other cultures and I really enjoy exchanging stories with people, listening to their opinions, looking at things from a different perspective :)

At the moment I can't host unfortunately, however I would be more than glad to meet up for a walk and show you beautiful spots in my hometown Minsk :)
