I guess my love of travel reflects on many aspects of my life.
First, I am a geography student, mostly focused on urban and biogeography as well as GIS.
Second, I have many foreign friends and relatives living all around the globe creating a vast network of visits and impressions.
And third, I've always been captured by diversity our planet can offer, from skyscrapers of Dubai to majestic fjords of Norway to temperate rainforest trails of Victoria, Australia, colours and beauty of our home has made a huge impact on my choices and love of travel.

Favourite destinations: Australia, Norway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to see a place from a local's perspective, and hoepfully engage in their insights about the place, as well as share stories with each others. Won't lie - it's also a great option of stay for a student backpacker.

Interests

I have been training in cross-country skiing for 7 years, also I love running, going to gym, cooking different foods from various cultures.
