Overview
About Me
I am a freelance Project Coordinator working in an environmental NGO, after spending almost two years volunteering and backpacking, learning everything I could about sustainability and permaculture, especially in eco villages.
I really enjoy travelling and I love to do so with locals. I participate a lot in Youth Exchanges and Training Courses :)
I also do natural cosmetics and I really enjoy doing trails in my free time.
Although it's impossible for me to host atm, I would love to show people who are interested in my hometown around.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Never used this and I thought I would give it a chance in my next trips. I love meeting new people and learning the culture of the country through their eyes. Also visiting people's favourite places has a spot in my heart.
Interests
I really enjoy hiking and doing trails in my free time. I photograph the fauna and flora in order to identify and draw them, so I could learn as much as I can about foraging and the properties of the herbs around me, although my fascination are mushrooms. I love urbex and I implement geocaching while doing so.
I listen to all sorts of music but I have a soft spot for metal and rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Exploring an abandoned sovietic military base
Having to leave a viewpoint in a hill at night because someone was shooting at us
Hiking a giant hill in Montenegro with 40°C fever
Doing a 60km trail in two days, was so excited that my body was resilient like that!
Dancing in the beach on the border with Russia in Estonia, at night, with people I met 3 days ago, just dancing with the speakers. We were completely alone and it was magical :)
