Hi, I am River but you can call me Riv. I am an art enthusiast living in London.
I love to travel while learning the unknown stories and the history of the cities. I usually prefer to spend lots of time outside my home to meet new people, explore unknown places and try new things.
I am working as a part-time sound editor. I love music, art history, and food.
-My favorite music: Jungle - Tash Sultana
-My favorite piece of art: Guernica by Picasso (I can talk about it for hours)
-My favorite food: Penne with Pesto (I can teach you how to make your own Pesto like a true Italian.)
-My favorite movie: The Man from Earth

For the rest you should meet me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason I am Couchsurfing is to help people actually. One single thing I believe is that helping people is the core reason why I am in this planet. I believe Couchsurfing is the real place where I can meet with new people to both learn from them and get help about the things that I don't know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Europe alone.
I spent years waiting for someone to come along with me on a vacation. Everyone I knew was either busy or didn't have enough courage. After a couple years passed I realized that I had not gone to any of the places I wanted to because I was always waiting on other people. Eventually I got up enough courage to just start buying round trip tickets to countries I had never been but longed to see. After that I found an audio walking tour guide app: https://piri.to/explore
I downloaded the audio guides in Europe and started to travel them one by one. I realized that you don't need anyone to company you. One app is all you need. Be brave!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you: Art history :)
I am open to learn everything if it is interesting.
I can share my couch, or a yoga mat if you are willing to sleep on it :)
