My name is Meche Vlad, I am 20 and I am currently a medical student in Timisoara, a city 50 km away from my hometown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found about it when I was in Thailand from some guys on a bus trip. I think it's a really cool way to get to meet new people without feeling awkward and to get the most veridic experience of a certian city or area you want to visit, because you can enjoy a local's knowledge and expertise.

Interests

I love reading, playing guitar, I sometimes play tennis (I used to be a pro when I was younger), but mostly now I just do calisthenics. I took up improvisational theatre a while ago, and that's somehow my artsy getaway :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Thailand, I went to an elephant reservation and took care of elephants for a whole day (washed them, fed them, pet them). It was truly beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know English and French. Being a med student, I am interested in natural sciences and in anything human and medical-related.
