Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Currently I am only surfing while traveling. When I accomplish my mission and find home, I'd love to host travelers too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Had a great time couchsurfing in China
Interests
There are simply too many! My main passions are traveling, dancing, photography, graphic design, fashion design, and every sport activity I try. My recent tries are rock climbing and surfing, and I now aim to master it!
I also love reading and having meaningful conversations. While traveling I became really interested in different countries politics, cultures and how it affects our lives. Therefore I like to connect with local people to see the country from their perspective, and through that to understand the bigger picture.

Music, Movies, and Books
My latest music preferences include Jack Johnson, Brett Dennen, Bent, Coldplay, Jamiroquai, UB40. As for dancing, it's different and depends on the mood.
Books, that really influenced me recently, are 'Three cups of tea' by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, 'Four hours work week' by Tim Ferris, and 'Sex slaves' by Louise Brown, highly recommend.
As for movies, I enjoy light Hollywood comedies, deep philosophical films, as well as documentaries about third world countries and their cultures.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I refused to get married, fell in love, quit well paid job, and left for around-the-world journey. After this amazing chain of events every single moment is quite amazing.
My boyfriend and I drove whole South America and Central America in a VW Van 1987. I am now in love with the continent and with this way of travel.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you dress making, photography and editing software basics, and can give you traveling tips. We can also cook something together and exchange different cuisine experience.
I am particularly interested to learn more about photography, graphic and fashion design on professional level. I am also interested in retail and online business start up.
