Hola out there!🌞

My friends would describe me as a rather extroverted, outgoing, and spontaneous person.
I definitely consider myself a seeker of new adventures, friends, and memorable stories that I will one day share with my grandchildren (I always wanted to be the "cool but kind of crazy grandma" who traveled around the world telling some stories that you would not believe are true ;)).

At the moment I am studying Business Psychology in a Masters program. Currently, I am living in Prague for a semester abroad, which I truly enjoy! :-)

Meeting with friends, playing volleyball, exploring healthy baking recipes from Instagram, and, of course, traveling as much as possible are activities that fill my days. I also have a keen interest in photography. I enjoy capturing fascinating moments through my lens.
I hope to find like-minded travel-soulmates with whom I can share incredible stories and create unforgettable memories together! 🫶🏼

P.S.: If you'd like to see some pictures from my journeys, feel free to visit my Instagram: nos.tal.gie (I have an unbelievable 70 followers on my channel)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"It's all about a person, not a place." -Since I started traveling by myself, I understood the meaning of this saying and would agree with it 100%.

One thing I realized is that traveling is a profound journey of learning.
So let’s learn together more about ourselves!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Actually, I don't have a specific music preference, but I love jazz, indie rock, Latin music, and dancehall (what a weird combination?!).
So, I enjoy attending jam sessions and dancing to latino music at clubs. 💃🏽

Books:
"Books allow you to travel without moving your feet."
For me, reading signifies learning and personal growth, so I strive to read as much as I can, even though there are countless books and limited time.
As I have a preference for reading in Russian rather than any other language, I am particularly captivated by the splendid works of Russian classical literature, such as Chekhov, Anna Akhmatova or Esenin.
Of course, I have also explored modern/ foreign literature, including the works of J.K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, George Orwell, Harper Lee, Ray Bradbury or Ernest Hemingway. 😛
P.S.: My favorite author is Erich Maria Remarque, and his masterpiece, "Arc de Triomphe," holds a special place in my heart!

Movies:
Due to my fondness for books, I don't have a specific "favorite film," but I do enjoy watching comedies with friends on a rainy Sunday!
