Hello, people of the Internet!
I'm Milena, born in the marvelous year of 1997. I am currently studying International Relations in the beautiful city of Dresden and am always looking for new contacts, conversations, ideas, inspirations... I'm open-minded, a huge fan of humor and irony and am always looking for new opinions or different views on the world. Things I am good at: Giving hugs :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Probably for the same reason as everyone else - travelling is great, getting to know people along the way greater! I do believe that this world can be much more than it is now and if we all lived more by the principle "sharing is caring" as couchsurfers do, the world would be a better place.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: You can get me hooked up for almost anything. I'm just sometimes having a hard time with heavy metal ;)

Movies: Cowspiracy, Female Pleasure, Get Out, Interstellar

Books: Too many to write just a few down, but if I had to choose one, it would probably be The Color Purple by Alice Walker. I have a huge passion for poetry, either reading, writing or being read to. If you write poetry yourself, I would be extremly honoured to listen to your words. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is probably my favourite thinker.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding motorcylces in the rain! Living! Meeting people that are so generous and kind that it still warms my soul.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk hours about what we could do to make this planet a better place for all human beings. This "Weltschmerz" is something that fuels the fire in my soul and I am still looking for answers, questions, solutions - therefore I am very grateful to hear new opinions or ideas on how to change the world to a better place. I do have a few thoughts on that topic, but then again, I love listening to new ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to sing or jam together and I can show you some delicious vegan or vegetarian meals. In Germany they say that love goes through the stomach, right? ;)
