Hello my name is Rūta. I am 19and from Latvia, right now doing volunteer project in Bulgaria. I took gap year in medical studies and now am eager to explore world. Trying my best to help the planet by reducing waste, being vegan and volunteering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Eager to travel and explore other cultures, see some spots that tourists usually miss and interacting with locals might be way to do that. Also, it is good way to save money while travelling and help others do the same.
