Hello everyone! My name is Arina. Currenty I am a student of the Oriental Studies department. It is quite interesting for me to learn about history and culture of foreign countries. Also I am fond of studying languages. This knowledge provides a good opportunity to travel around the world and communicate with great people and make new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to build friendships, not just find a free hotel as In my way of thinking friends are the wealth for every person. I hope that couchsurfing helps me to meet easy-going and open minded people in different coutries with whom we will share our interests.
