Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Currently, I'm mostly surfing but I also hosted a few times. I'm just amazed by this Couchsurfing idea. It is just an amazing way to meet people from everywhere and building up this nice little network spread over the world. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I did Couchsurfing in Rotterdam before I started my studies here. thanks to CouchSurfing I meet many great people and I still am friends with a lot of them.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Left my hometown without a real plan and about 500 Euros. Now I build up my life in Rotterdam and love living here
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: many things related to Psychology & Music. I once gave a friend a driving license because he bought his driving license in Ukraine but couldn't drive ... So if you need driving lessons don't hesitate to ask Learn: Everything new! Share: A good time, wine and beer, a joint (when you come to the Netherlands), music, ideas
What I Can Share With Hosts
When we have a lot in common we can share the same interests If we have nothing in common we can share some discussions about different ways of living
My Interests
I am a lot into music but also in everything creative. Discussing about random things for hours is something I can get lost in quit easily. Also, I'm going out regularly to art events, Dj-sets, and concerts. And due to my studies, I'm of course interested in Psychology and how you can use it in Society. It's such a broad topic so you don't get bored of it. I like to meet new people and places, so travel is one of my passions too. Last year I tried out surfing and immediately loved the sport. I am really a beginner but want to learn it whenever I have the possibility to do it.
