Hey there! I’m Darina — originally from Kazakhstan, now based in beautiful Žilina, Slovakia.

I’m all about exploring new places, meeting inspiring people, and diving into different cultures. Life’s an adventure, and I love filling it with great stories, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Open-minded and easygoing, I enjoy connecting with others — whether it’s over a good cup of coffee, a walk through town, or a spontaneous day trip somewhere new.

A few things that make me happy:
Discovering new foods and trying out recipes from around the world 🍜
Deep conversations about life, culture, or just random fun facts ☕
Getting lost in nature and finding hidden gems 🌿
Picking up new skills and learning something every day ✨

I’d love to meet locals or fellow travelers — for a chat, a walk, or maybe even an adventure together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I love the idea of connecting with people beyond the typical tourist experience.
For me, travel isn’t just about seeing new places — it’s about sharing moments, stories, and cultures with others. Couchsurfing makes it possible to meet locals, learn from their perspectives, and create real, human connections wherever I go.

I’m endlessly curious and always open to learning. Every person I meet teaches me something new — about the world, about people, and sometimes even about myself. I believe that the best travel memories come from those spontaneous, genuine interactions that you just can’t plan.

Whether it’s sharing a meal, exploring hidden corners of a city, or exchanging travel stories over coffee, I’m excited to meet people who value exploration, culture, and kindness as much as I do. 😊
