Hi, my name is Marina and it is time to change my profile info as I'm here already for four years and my experience with Couchsurfing has changed a bit.
Shortly:
I like to travel (as everyone does) and meet new faces and new people. Also, I like taking lots and lots of pictures during my trips, pick up new languages ( some words at least), I love architecture and nature. As well a big fan of the ocean and sunrise/sunset spots.
I'm slowly learning the Japanese language, totally in love with Japanese culture and Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me is a lifetime experience, mostly it is not about saving money ( but I will be honest in some countries and cities it is quite a deal ) I'm accepting not everyone to stay in my place,I'm trying to listen myself when I'm looking for a host or I'm hosting. I'm up for fun/ hikes/ almost anything if I have time :)
I always keen to help girls, because I know how HARD to find a 'Girls host' during the travels.

New people, new stories. And I'm welcoming.
