It is always a bit hard to describe myself, without exaggerating my virtues and without minimizing my shortcomings. But to tell it short, my life for the last 5 years has changed significantly due to some dramatic transformations in my homeland (Belarus) and in the whole region (Eastern Europe). I have been working in the field of urban planning, but some years ago I decided to modify my professional track, and for a couple of years I was studying World Heritage Studies in Germany.
Interested in Dancing
Interested in Design
Fluent in Belarusian
Learning German
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I didn't practice Couchsurfing a lot, but all my hosts, whom I met on the platform, were very open and interesting people. Lukas in Dortmund, Anika in Cologne, and Benji in Tartu were amazing hosts :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: all kinds of social dramas, movies based on real historical backgrounds, and good documentaries. But sometimes, of course, there is nothing better than just a comedy, even a stupid one :) Music: depends on my mood and company. But in general I like Royksopp, Josef Salvat, Susanne Sundfor, ONUKA, Adele, Christine and the Queens, Shuma.... and many many others, I don't always remember their names.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
- Biking through small lost villages and exploring almost forgotten ruins of churches and palaces in Belarus; - Participated in 3 crazy EASAs (European Architects Students Assembly) in Slovenia, Bulgaria and Malta; - Studied in Budapest as Erasmus student for one year - one of the best periods of my life! :)
Teach, Learn, Share
If you are curious about Belarusian folk traditions or anything related to its history, just ask me, and I can tell a lot. And of course, brief courses of Russian or even the Belarusian languages.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Since I am a student in a student dorm, unfortunately, there is not so much space, but 1-2 nights are still possible. Cottbus is not a very popular city for tourists, but I can show you some beautiful and attractive locations in the city.
