Couchsurfing is NOT tinder!! - just a reminder

ABOUT ME For the first time in my life, I'm traveling in South America! Dreams are coming true! I'm funny, easy-going, love to smile, to tell stories and to listen to them. By traveling I'm living my dream! I'm not picky. A safe spot to sleep, shower - that's all I need. :)

A bit of story, I guess, needed too. After high school, I studied in China for 4 years, got my bachelor in business Chinese language. After graduation, I sold my belongings and hitchhiked around Southeast Asia for a year. Now, I work as an English teacher online, so I could keep on traveling.

PHILOSOPHY Inner peace, balance and love to yourself. Be true to yourself, life’s too short to live in lies.

Teach, Learn, Share

Each new person whom I meet in my life is a kind of a teacher for me. The best teachers have no books, but stories and experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tea!! I'm a teaholic! :D I love tea. Any kind. A lot. And I always have some with me :) At the moment I fancy Indian Masala Chai and South American mate. Would love to drink some with you!

Leather handmade, rock climbing, staff spinning, yoga, slack line. But those I didn't master myself yet, so we can learn together. :)

I can teach you some Russian, English or Chinese.
