Hello (Ey up) world!

I'm Andreea, I'm 25, vegetarian, gemini and a creative loving soul. Originally from a small town in Transylvania, Romania but I currently living in Leeds, UK. I love exploring new places, meeting new people and soaking up the creative side of a place and its people.

I enjoy a cup of coffee, good music, yoga, going for a hike, taking instaxes or photos, drinking the local beer and having a good time. My favourite way to explore a new place is through local peoples recommendations but also by walking it. I really appreciate honesty :)!

I hosted in the past but never used Couchsurfing before - so I am excited but also aaaa!

In the past I have worked at the incredible Art Hostel ( a social enterprise hostel owned by an arts charity in Leeds). I really enjoyed working at the hostel because I got to meet so many amazing peoples and had the opportunity to listen to so many stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the last few months I have been feeling a bit lost in terms of what I want to do so I have decided that instead of stressing myself out about it I would just go on adventure and see what happens.

At the moment I am really interested in discovering the creative side of Europe and the impact it has on people;I want to meet creative people who make a difference in their local community - I want to learn from them and work with them and share their stories.

Interests

Would love if we could do yoga, go to free giggs and find out exhibitions whilst visiting your place.
