I am a student, currently living in Graz. I'm doing my MA in English literature.. I like writing, poetry, reading, philosophy and I often get lost in thought, time and space, I zone out to think. I am a cat lady.
I am currently trying to learn to play the piano and I love singing as well (I just started singing in a band). I'm a big (rock) music fan! One of my recent fascinations is also photography, especially linked to architecture.
I can speak 6 languages: French, English, German, Slovenian, Serbo-Croatian and Russian. I have to admit, my favourite one is French. My favourite cities are Copenhagen and Tokyo .
It would be lovely to meet new people and learn new things, experience new cultures and share memories, as well as to make new ones. Currently, I am living in Graz and am planning to stay here for some time still (and move to a bigger city after my studies to either loo for a job or pursue an academic career). However, I might treat myself with a gap year instead and go to Nepal and meditate for a year:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people from different backgrounds, see new lovely places and host people from different countries, show them my cities (i have more than one hometown :P) and bond across cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a spider and did not scream.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach all the languages I speak.
I would really like to become fluent in Russian and to learn to play the piano well.
Also, I would like to learn about taoism, buddhism and hinduism, meditate more, and get better at yoga.
