I’m taking a gap year before starting university because I think travelling is much more important than education! I’m 18, adventurous, and can tell a good story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m trying my best to travel for free! I hitchhike everywhere and really appreciate a night’s stay on someone’s couch, and I think it’s great that I get to experience real culture

Interests

I really enjoy architecture and am going to study that next year at university.
I love reading classics and going to art galleries, my perfect day would be doing both.
Obviously I love to travel and hearing about interesting places people have been!

• architecture
• reading
• traveling
• music
• sign language

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to listen to the music of the country I’m in, especially folk and indie - so I will be taking all of your music recommendations!

My favourite movies are all travel related coincidentally: Eat Pray Love, Into the Wild, Big Fish.

I love reading Greek mythology - I just finished the Odyssey and my favourite book is the Song of Achilles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It’s maybe more stupid than amazing but they wouldn’t let me leave Belarus so I had to be smuggled across the border to escape…

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak English and some British Sign Language, and am learning German so would love if someone can help me out with that!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know some British Sign Language if anyone is interested! Other than that all I have is experiences and good stories to share, and I enjoy a fun night out
