My name is Laura and I'm a passionate traveler and originally from Kazakhstan. Currently, I am living in Rome, where I am pursuing my master's degree in Design, Multimedia, and Visual Communication at Sapienza University.
I consider myself an open-minded and curious person who thrives on new experiences and meaningful connections. Growing up in Kazakhstan, a multicultural country, and later studying in Russia before moving to Italy has enriched my perspective on life and humanity. These diverse cultural experiences have shaped me into someone who deeply values inclusivity, diversity, and the power of human connection.
One of my greatest passions is art. I have worked as an art manager for a year in a gallery, where I organized and managed art residencies for young artists from all over Kazakhstan. This role allowed me to guide and support artists as they created and exhibited their works, providing them with a platform to share their voices and stories. I loved seeing how art could bring people together and foster a sense of community.
Dance is another significant part of my life. I have trained in various styles, including hip hop, jazz funk, ballroom dancing, and heels. Dancing allows me to express myself creatively and connect with others in a unique and joyful way. Whether it's a casual dance session with friends or a more structured class, I always find immense pleasure and freedom in movement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to connect with like-minded travelers and hosts, share my experiences, and learn from others. I am excited to offer my knowledge of art and design, teach some dance moves, and engage in interesting conversations about cultural experiences. Additionally, I'm always happy to help with cooking or any household chores during my stay.
I look forward to meeting new friends on Couchsurfing and creating unforgettable memories together. If you’re visiting Rome or if our paths cross in another part of the world, feel free to reach out.

Dancing is one of my passions, and I’d love to teach you some moves or even organize a fun dance session if you're up for it or film some tiktoks.
