Hi there, I'm Marie, a Political Science student from Kyiv, Ukraine. My hobbies are drawing, learning new languages and having discussions.

My boyfriend and I have ambitious plans for the summer - we want to visit a few European countries and have an unforgettable experience.

A few words from Geri, my boyfriend:
I'm a digital nomad IT guy. I'm originally from Hungary, but I spent the last few years in Scotland. I've got stories from both, now I'm curious about what's in-between. I'm a bit of a car guy with a thing for old Volvos so the more recent ones mostly start something along the lines of, "so my old Volvo broke down at..." I'm looking to learn about the less touristic spots in every city as I feel like those give me a more complete picture of the place and I'm always curious about the local history too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've chosen Couchsurfing because we believe that one can't learn much about the place without connecting with locals. We are here to get to know you guys!
