About Me

I am an Erasmus student in Spain now. The truth is that I looked at that first sentence in the ''about'' section for like 5 minutes straight, then randomly decided to start cleaning (you know the feeling when you have to finish your paper, but instead you are doing everything except studying) and voila! now I have a clean room and still nothing in this section!

I guess it is so hard for me to talk about myself, because I don't know what thing is worth mentioning and will help you get to know me better, and what is not worth mentioning at all. Anyway, I'll let you decide ;)

I don't like milk, but I do use it to cook some oatmeal, or mashed potatoes.
I don't like tea, but I do drink it, because I've noticed that tea helps to foster communication and it really makes life easier (a weird conclusion, but whatever).
I don't like emojis, but I do use them when I want to show my sympathy towards a person. However, if I don't use them with you, it doesn't mean I don't like you; it just means I am being myself.
I don't like going to parties, but come on, I am an Erasmus student, sometimes going to parties feels like some part of your homework.
I don't like procrastination, but I procrastinate a lot (just now watched a youtube video ''8 things you should know before going to Germany'', and I am not even going to Germany)

I do like studying (yeah, I am talking about the uni) and learning new things, because it makes me feel less stagnant.
I do like talking with people, because it helps me see the world in a completely different light (and I love diversity).
I do like being eco-friendly, because I am a citizen of the whole world.
I do like going to new places, even though sometimes I really feel scared of the unknown.
I do like Internet, because it is not only about procrastination; it is also about meeting GREAT people and exposing yourself to AWESOME opportunities.

I try to experience as many things as possible and I don't let my natural shyness and insecurity influence my life in any way. If you don't like milk, or if you spend some time procrastinating, just hit me up! I am always up for a meaningful (or funny conversation).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love the idea of Couchsurfing experience and I truly think it does not only save your money or help you meet people from different countries and cultures, but also exposes you to things you would have never experienced on your own. My first Couchsurfing experience turned out to be positive, and I really want to get out of it more!
